It is a privilege to play on a soccer team. As an CFYS player, I will:
1. Play the game for the game’s sake, and not just to please my parents or coach.
2. Be modest and generous when I win and gracious when I lose.
3. Respect the game of soccer and its laws, learn these laws and try to follow them.
4. Work for the good of my team and give my best effort at all times.
5. Show respect for the authority of the referee, even though I will sometimes disagree with his/her calls.
6. 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.
7. Conduct myself with honor and dignity and treat other players as I would like to be treated.
8. Help my parents and fans understand the laws of the game so they can watch and enjoy the game
Parent's Code of Conduct
As a parent, you play a special role in the development of your son or daughter's and of his/her teammates.
Your encouragement and good example will do more to ensure good sportsmanship andself-discipline than any other influence. The other team is the opponent, not the enemy, and should betreated with respect. While winning is important, playing well and fairly is the essence of the game
1. Support your child by giving encouragement and showing interest in his/her team. Help yourchild work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory.
2. Always be positive Children learn more by example than by criticism. Work to be a positive role model, and reinforce positive behavior in others. Applaud good plays by others on your child's team as well as good plays by the opposing team. Do not criticize any child’s performance from the sidelines. Accept the results of each game. Teach your child to be gracious in victory and to turn defeat into victory by learning and working toward improvement
3. Don't be a sideline coach or ref Refrain from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines. Parents who shout or scream from the sidelines often give inappropriate advice at the wrong time. The coach should be the only sideline voice. Remain well back from the sidelines and within the spectator area. You and your child will both enjoy the game more if you put some emotional distance between yourself and the field or play. Officials are symbols of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship - Do not openly question their judgment or honesty.
4. Demonstrate a positive attitude toward your opponents and their families Opponents are not enemies. Take care to show good hospitality at home and to represent CFYS in a positive way when visiting other clubs. Never allow yourself to be drawn into a verbal disagreement with opposing parents or coaches. No one has ever regretted letting “cooler heads prevail.”
5. Remember that your child wants to have fun
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I Have read and agree to abide and support this CFYS Code Of Conduct.
