Code of Conduct
We will refrain from booing or yelling at officials at any time during a game because
1. It sets a poor example of sportsmanship,
2. Reflects negatively on our programs, our community, our team, our players, and ourselves.
3. Most officials do the best job they can with limited training.
4. The official seldom determines the outcome of the games.
We will refrain from yelling at players on either team because
1. They are young players, prone to mistakes due to lack of experience
2. Our attempts to help may only confuse the player. The coach is best equipped to analyze and correct deficiencies.
3. We will treat all players with courtesy, respect and consideration.
We will refrain from being argumentative or using abusive language towards supporters of the opposing team because
1. Others judge us by our words and actions. Sportsmanship should be the verdict.
2. We will conduct ourselves in such a courteous and restrained manner that if called upon to do so, we could line up and shake hands with each supporter of the opposing team.
If our team loses, we will demonstrate our ability to cope with the loss in both deed and word because
1. In athletics, as in other aspects of life, it is not always possible to win no matter how great the effort.
2. When victory eludes us, we must learn to accept defeat graciously as we do our triumphs
3. It may be possible that a loss is due to the fact that the opposing team played the game better than our team
4. Our players should learn from our reactions to a loss.
The real purpose of youth soccer competition is to have fun. Improve skills. Learn sportsmanship, develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline, develop group loyalty, learn to compete within established rules, accept decisions of authorized officials, and to develop sound minds and bodies. I/we have read and understand the above statements. I/we agree with these statements and will adhere to the code of conduct set forth by the KIDS FIRST SOCCER LLC in the spirit of sportsmanship, teamwork, and benefit to all. Parent/Guardian when signing electronically you are acknowledging that you have reviewed this with your minor child.
