Players
All players on a SPUYSC roster will follow the rules below,
I will treat my coaches, my teammates, other players, referees, and spectators with respect always;
Regardless of race, sex, creed, or abilities, and I will expect to be treated accordingly as well.
- I will be a positive role model and encourage good sportsmanship from fellow players, coaches,
and parents always.
- I will never use abusive or insulting language. I will treat everyone with dignity.
- I will at all times control my temper, resisting the temptation of retaliation.
- I will always exercise self-control.
- I will not engage in violent behavior, foul language, racial slurs, or offensive gestures.
- I will not bully or haze any teammate or other person involved with the club.
- I will report any bullying or hazing to the coaches or staff members.
- While sitting on the bench during a game, I will watch the game and support my teammates who are
in the game. I will provide only positive comments to the players on the field.
- I will clean up after myself and leave the field in the condition it was in before and after practices
and games.
- I understand that coaches are there to coach and not to improve my behavior.
- If I am found to be behaving badly, my coach is permitted to remove me from the game/event. The
responsibility for my behavior outside of the team-sanctioned events is not that of the team staff but is
the responsibility myself, and of my family/guardian.
- I will notify the Director of Coaching if a member of another Club’s coaching staff, or other Club
representative approaches me for purposes of recruitment.
- I will participate exclusively with SPUYSC for the entire soccer year and not participate in any
non-sanctioned training session or soccer event for the duration of this agreement without the written
approval of the Director of Coaching.
