PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

3. Work for the good of my team and always give my best effort.
4. Show good sportsmanship before, during, and after games. I understand that soccer is a game, and that the players on the other team are my opponents, not my enemies.
5. Conduct myself with honor and dignity and treat other players as I would like to be treated.

EXCELLENCE
1. No player ever becomes a success by giving up. Keep trying.
2. We can't control the outcome of games. We can only be the best player, the best teammate, the best person we can be.
AGREEMENT ON HOW LONG THEY PLAY
Parents and players understand that coaches /assistant determine who plays and how often. The emphasis on competitive team lineup can result in uneven playing/practice time among participants, with occasions when some athletes are not given playing/practice time. The coach / assistant is the one who makes the often-difficult decision of who starts, who plays and how long the participants play/practice. When it comes to the frustration that comes from seeing your son or daughter not playing games, all supporters are expected to be respectful.
24 HOUR RULE
The 24hr rule is a rule that is in place to help keep peace between the coach and parents. The rule is simple. Parents are not allowed to approach the coach about issues until 24hrs after the competition. Reasons for the rule:
1. To allow the parents to calm down after the issue has developed.
2. Allow the coach to calm down after the competition.
