Equipment Bins KEEP the bins clean and organized!!!!! UNLOCKING THE BINS There is a little trick behind it. Remember the code is 8510, for the bins at CES and CSS the code starts at the bottom and goes up. And for the one at Riva it goes from the top down. Once you have the code lineup up – PUSH IN – on the lock and it will release and then just move the slider, which is just to the lower right of the lock, to the Left and it will open. When closing move slider back to the Right to secure it. Then on the lock – PUSH IN – again and as you are holding the lock in move one of the numbers so the code isn’t correct and it will lock. *Under NO circumstance should you take any equipment home with you.

Equipment and Pugg Goals • PUGG goals are for Tots use first and foremost. Junior clinic has 5 v 5 goals • Both Tots and Junior Coaches use size 3 balls. There are ~~ 6 - 10 balls, 8 pennies, and 20 cones in each bag. • Senior Clinic uses a size 4 ball. • If you are a Tots coach, please take a moment to watch the You. Tube video on how to fold, as it can be a bit like a rubik’s cube if you don’t. • https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Goi. Nt. Pk. Oo.
