Player Code of Conduct

I understand that it is a privilege to play soccer with TRSA and with this privilege comes some responsibilities.

I will practice good sportsmanship and will treat my opponent the way I would like to be treated. In both victory and defeat, my behavior shall model grace, dignity and composure.

I will treat officials with respect and dignity. I will not argue with or criticize game officials.

I will treat all other players with respect regardless of their race, sex, creed or ability.

I will not engage in the use of profanity, obscene language or improper actions.

I will make every effort to attend all practices and games and in the event that I will miss a practice or game, I will let the coach know as soon as possible.

I will show respect for my coach by listening to and following his/her directions and practice good manners on and off the field. In the case of a disagreement I will first talk with my coach and if a satisfactory solution is not found I will agree to meet with a mediator.

I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, sex, or ability. Additionally, I will model these behaviors myself.

Soccer is the player's game. The paramount concern of coaches is the holistic development, welfare, enjoyment and safety of their players.

Coaches bear responsibility for teaching players to strive for success while playing fairly, observing the laws of the game and the highest levels of sportsmanship.

Coaches shall treat officials with respect and dignity, and shall teach their players to do the same.

Our opponents are worthy of being treated with respect. Coaches will model such respect for opponents and expect their players to do likewise.

In both victory and defeat, the behavior of the coach shall model grace, dignity and composure.

Coaches shall model inclusive behavior, actively supporting cultural diversity while opposing all types of discrimination, including but not limited to, racism and sexism, at all levels of the game.

Coaches are responsible for taking an active role in education about, and prevention and treatment of drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse; both in their lives and in the lives of their players. I will refrain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol at all team events.

Coaches shall refrain from all manner of personal abuse and harassment of others, whether verbal, physical, emotional or sexual, and shall oppose such abuse and harassment at all levels of the game.

Coaches shall seek to honor those who uphold the highest standards and principles of soccer and shall use appropriate protocol to oppose and eliminate all behavior that brings disrepute to the sport - violence, abuse, dishonesty, disrespect and violations of the laws of the game and rules governing competition.

Coaches shall respect the declared affiliations of all players.

Coaches shall adhere to the highest standards and the regulations of the institutions they represent: clubs, schools, sponsoring organizations and sports governing bodies.

Parents Code of Conduct

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, game officials and administrators at all times.

I will remember that soccer is the player's game and that kids play for fun. The primary concern of parents should be encouragement. I will never ridicule or yell at my child or others for a mistake or losing.

I will not engage in the use of profanity, obscene language or improper actions.

I will refrain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol at all TRSA events.

I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts peacefully.

I will treat officials with respect and dignity. I will not argue with or criticize game officials.

I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, sex, or ability.

I will respect the coaches and the decisions they make and speak positively of them. If I have a concern I will speak directly to them when there are no players present. If a satisfactory solution can not be found I will contact the proper TRSA representative to act as a mediator. During this process I will not criticize, complain or ridicule them to others.

I will make every effort to get my child to practices and games on time, pick him/her up on time, and in the event that we will miss a practice or a game we will let the coach know as soon as possible.
