Parent Code of Conduct

• Be There: Regardless of the skill level of your child or the success of your team - go to the games.
• Be Positive: Criticizing your player, teammates, the other team, or the officials during the game creates a negative environment that makes it difficult to perform well. Let them play, coach, and officiate.
• Are you a Distraction? Although it's good to be positive, it's good not to overdo it... Players should not confuse your voice with the public address system. You are not the coach!
• You can complain! But not to your player, your coach, the other coach, the official, or anybody else on the field. If you have a problem with a situation, contact your club president and submit a complaint in writing. We cannot fix anything unless we know about it and have a written statement.
• You do not have a right to interact with the game official:

The Referee is in charge of the game.

Your coach is responsible for the management of the sideline, including you and all other parents, family members, and friends.

It is within the rights of a coach, official, or club representative to ask you to leave if your behavior warrants it. Failure to comply will be handled by the Club or County President.

If you criticize the game officials, you are teaching your children that it is okay to challenge the official. Actually, it is not OK and can result in your child receiving a yellow or red card.

• Say thanks!  Thank the coaches, the referees, and your children!
