Please take some time and read the Code of Conduct for players and parents to your child. Coaches also have Code of Conduct that will be posted at the fields.

PARENT’s CODE of CONDUCT
I will remember the children are playing for fun while learning about soccer.
I will be kind to my child's coach and to the officials. The coach is a volunteer-giving of personal time and money to provide a recreational activity for your child. The coach is providing a valuable community service, often without reward other than their personal satisfaction. Without them your child could not participate.
I will remember parents should be cheerleaders. Allow the coach to coach, the referee to officiate, and most of all allow your child to play the game. Converse AFTER the game.
I will accept the results of each game, and encourage my child to: Be gracious in victory, and turn defeat to victory by working towards improvement
I will be a positive role model for my child by always displaying good sportsmanship, respect and courtesy. I will encourage good sportsmanship and fair play from my child.
I will applaud the good plays of both teams. I will never engage in booing or taunting. I will not disturb other spectators with my actions or behavior.
I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during a game or practice unless I am an official coach of the team or asked to help.
I understand that the game of soccer is a team sport and I will teach my child that teamwork and being a team player are more important than individual achievements.
I will always praise my child for playing a good game and will make my child feel like a winner every time.
I will teach my child that playing fair, trying hard and doing one’s best are more important than winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his/her performance.
I will never criticize, ridicule or yell at my child, or another player, for making a mistake or losing a competition. I will not tolerate any physical or verbal abuse in youth sports.
I will never swear, use profanity or make obscene gestures, or engage in any inappropriate behavior or conduct, at any time.
Respect the fields: I will do my part to keep the soccer fields clean and litter-free and encourage my child to do the same.
I will leave my pet at home, since no pets are allowed on fields.
I am aware that no smoking is allowed at games and practices.
I will communicate with and fully support my child’s coach. I will address any questions, concerns or problems with the coach at an appropriate time and place. If the problems persists, a Board Member must be informed immediately.
I understand that I have a responsibility to immediately inform a Board Member if a coach, parent or spectator do or say anything inappropriate in the presence of my child, or any other players. This will allow for proper steps to be taken within the organization.
