Parents Code of Conduct
  • I will positively support and encourage my child, my child’s teammates and my child’s opponents.
  • I realize soccer is a team sport, and will applaud the successes of all players as well as my own child.
  • I will accept the results of every game, and encourage players to be gracious in victory and to turn defeat into victory by working to improve.
  • I will allow the coach to coach and the players to play.
  • I will help my child fulfill his or her obligation to the team and be able to talk to the coach.
  • I realize the attitudes shown by parents at games toward their child, the opposing team, the officials and the coach influences the child’s behavior in sports. Therefore, I will be a role model of good sportsmanship and expect my child to be the same.
  • I understand that criticism and disrespect for officials and opponents by parents focused on immediate success rather than long-range benefits undermines the purposes of sport and brings undue stress to the coach, officials and players.
  • I realize my behavior affects perceptions of my child, my child’s team and the St. Croix Soccer Club.
