Player Code
Play the game for the game's sake.
- Be generous when you win.
- Be gracious when you lose.
- Be fair always no matter what the costs.
- Obey the rules of the game.
- Work for the good of the team.
- Accept the decision of the officials with good grace.
- Believe in the honesty of your opponents.
- Conduct yourself with honor and dignity.
- Honestly and wholeheartedly applaud the efforts of your teammates and your opponent. The game that this association will support must provide for fun, enjoyment and other recreational satisfactions, achievement, recognition and the pursuit of excellence relative to the skill potential and personal competitive goals of the participants and the development of physical, mental, social and emotional fitness.
- The type of game that the association will not support nor tolerate is that which brings the game into disrepute and that which results in physical, verbal or mental violence.
Parent Code
- Children have more need of example than criticism.
- Make athletic participation for your child and others a positive experience.
- Attempt to relieve the pressures of competition, not increase it. A child is easily affected by outside forces.
- Be kind to your child's coach and officials. The coach is a volunteer giving of his personal time and money to provide a soccer experience for your child.
- The opponents are necessary friends. Without them your child could not participate.
- Soccer is a team sport. Parents should applaud the successes of all players as well as their own child.
- Between the exuberance of the winner and the disappointment of the loser we find a person called a referee. All of them follow the same creed: to watch every move of every player and to call the game to the best of his/her abilities.
- Do not question his/her judgment and never the honesty. He/she is a symbol of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship.
- Accept the results of every game. Encourage the child to be gracious in victory and turn defeat to victory by working towards improvements.
- Parental evaluation carries a great deal of weight with the child. The attitude shown by parents at games towards their child, the opposing team, the officials and the coach influence a child's behavior in sports. Criticism, disrespect for officials and opponents by parents bent on immediate success rather than long-range benefits undermines the purpose of sport and brings the games stresses beyond those of competition.
