I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in the Warren Youth Soccer League by following this Parent Code of Conduct:
I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all participants, coaches, and officials.
I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing, taunting or using profane language or gestures, etc.
I will remember that the WYSL is a Recreational League. A child usually forgets the outcome of the game: it is the adults that have a tendency to stress the win/loss record.
I will ask my child to treat other participants, coaches, officials, parents, and spectators with respect regardless of race, age, sex, creed, or ability.
I will treat all officials and coaches with respect. They are there to provide your child with a safe and healthy learning environment. Officials and coaches deserve the same type of environment from the parents and spectators.
I will strive to be a good role model for my child and the other children in the program.
I will encourage my child to learn to lose with dignity and win with grace.
I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for any perceived mistakes or losses.
I will respect my child’s coach and do my best to have my child at all practices and games on time.
I will recognize the importance of volunteer coaches. I realize they are important to the development of my child and the program. I will communicate with them and support their decisions.
I also agree that if I fail to abide by the aforementioned rules and guidelines, I will be subject to disciplinary action that could include, but is not limited to the following:
- Verbal warning by official, head coach, and/or member of league organization
- Written warning
- Parental game suspension with written documentation of incident
- Parental season suspension
