Download Parent Code of Conduct - pdf
The following standards are established by the PYSC and govern the behavior of all PYSC Parents, before, during and after soccer club events:
1. I will not be a sideline coach or referee. I will provide positive reinforcement, care, and encouragement to my child and his/her teammates. I will also refrain from making negative comments to my child or his/her teammates.
2. I will encourage fair play and good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every practice, game, or tournament.
3. I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win.
4. If my child develops a behavior-related problem that repeatedly disrupts practices and/or games, I promise to work with my child’s coach to resolve that problem.
5. I will support coaches and officials who instruct my child in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.
6. I will not sit or stand on the coaches’ and players’ sideline during a match, unless invited by the coach.
7. I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from PYSC events.
8. I will demand a soccer environment for my child free of drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all practices and games.
9. I will remember that the game is for my child and his/her teammates, not for the adults, and will do my best to make soccer fun for my child.
10. I promise to treat other fans, coaches, players, and officials with respect, regardless of race, sex, or ability.
11. I will refrain from discussing any issues about a game with the referee or linesman at any time. This includes a call or lack of a call, before, during or after a game, and includes at the field or away from it. If I have an issue, I agree to abide by the league 24 hour rule.
12. I will remember that as a fan, I represent the Pulaski Youth Soccer Club and the community. I understand poor behavior during practices, games, or tournaments may result in expulsion from the soccer complex. (I must wait inside or next to my car in the parking area for my son or daughter). If this happens repeatedly, it will result in expulsion from the Club.
