Parents
Commitment
Acceptance of the
District IV Code of Conduct is assumed when a player registration has been
received.
The parents' role is one
of support to the players and coaches. Parents should not engage in
"coaching" from the sidelines, criticizing players, coaches or game
officials or trying to influence the makeup of the team at any time.
Every parent and
spectator is expected to:
Learn and respect the rules of soccer and the rules of the
CYSA-North.
Show respect and courtesy to game officials, coaches, and
players at all times.
Respect the game officials and refrain from questioning their
decisions or from addressing them in a loud, disrespectful, or abusive manner.
Cheer for your child's team in a positive manner, refraining at
all times from making negative or abusive remarks about the opposing team.
Maintain control of your emotions and avoid actions, language, and/or gestures
that may be interpreted as hostile and humiliating.
Ensure that your child is at all games and practices at the
required time or provide the coach with an appropriate excuse beforehand.
Demonstrate appropriate gestures of sportsmanship at the
conclusion of a game, win or lose.
Teach and practice good sportsmanship and fair play by personally
demonstrating commitment to these virtues.
Promote the concept that soccer is merely a game, and that
players and coaches on other teams are opponents, not enemies.
Regardless for their reason in attending any CYSA-North or
CYSA-North District IV sanctioned match, this code of conduct is enforce and
must be abided.
