PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT - important please read: 
Youth soccer is for the players. All parent, guardian, friend, or family members associated with Empower Soccer are invited to share in the pleasure of watching their children participate in the world’s most popular sport, so long as their behavior does not distract the players and officials from the free flow of play which is the trademark of the sport.
 
Empower Soccer places significant value on having respectful and engaged families, and we ask that parent, guardian, friend, or family members continue to adhere to these guidelines.
 
A parent, guardian, friend, or family member should:
- Foster an environment of respect for referees, players, coaches, and spectators of the opposing team through words of encouragement and support.
- Cheer on players from the sidelines – do not coach.
- Applaud superior play, effort, and sportsmanship by players on both teams.
- Support your coaches and managers consistently regardless of the results on the field. Coaches contribute many hours of their time to your children. They deserve your congratulations when the team wins and your encouragement when the team doesn’t.
- Communicate any concerns to the coach at the appropriate time away from the playing location and players (we recommended 24hr cool off time).
- Always remain at least two yards from the playing field so our young players have room to play and enjoy the game.
- NEVER coach or correct a player that isn’t your child.
- Your cooperation with these standards before, during, and after each game or practice will make Empower Soccer more enjoyable for everyone.
 
A parent, guardian, friend, or family member should:
- Never use foul language or obscene gestures at a game or practice site.
- Avoid comments and gestures that express disagreement with referee decisions.
- Cooperate with any request by the game officials.
- Never consume alcoholic beverages on the field location at practices or games.
- Never smoke (tobacco or marijuana) on the field location at practices or games.
- No weapons are allowed in the facilities or parks where Empower Soccer is playing.
 
A parent, guardian, friend, or family member should understand that:
- Any parent or spectator who fails to adhere to these standards will be required to leave the playing area, and play will be suspended until he or she does so.
- Empower Soccer reserves the right to suspend or terminate a player’s enrollment for his or her parent’s persistent or extreme sideline misbehavior, and there will be no refunds of player fees in such cases.
- Parents or guardians are responsible for their guests’ behavior and must inform their guests of the applicable rules of conduct.

Any breaches of this Code of Conduct can result in your child’s suspension and a member’s removal from Empower Soccer Club. Comments and behavior of any member which contradict the mission statement or disrupt the functioning of a team can result in the suspension and/or removal from Empower Soccer Club.
