SUPRA UNITED CODES OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS
SUPRA UNITED SOCCER CLUB's Codes of Conduct establish a clear set of guidelines for the player . Its primary goal is to help ensure that soccer is a fun, positive and enjoyable experience.
The Code of Conduct is based on the concept of fair play, defined by four basic principles:
• Respect for the rules
• Respect for the referees and their decisions
• Respect for all participants, including team-mates, coaches and opponents
• Maintaining self-control at all times
Coaches should read and discuss all the Codes of Conduct with all members of your team. It is a condition of continuing Club membership that all members follow the codes of conduct at all times.
PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT:
• I will play soccer because I want to, not because my parents and others want me to.
• I will play by the rules of soccer, and in the spirit of the game.
• I will control my temper. I will not fight, "mouth off" or use bad language.
• I will respect my opponents.
• I will be a team player.
• I will remember that winning isn't everything - that having fun, playing fair, improving my skills, making friends and doing my best are the most important.
• I will acknowledge all good play - those of my team-mates and of my opponents.
• I will accept the decisions of coaches and referees and show them respect.
GAMES AND PRACTICES:
• I agree that practices and games are equally important.
• I will arrive at least 10 minutes before practices, and 30 minutes before games.
• If I cannot make a game or practice, I will notify the coach at least 24 hours in advance sothat arrangements for substitutes can be made.
MY UNIFORM:
• I will take good care of it and wear it only on game days. I will ensure it is clean for every game.
• At practices I will wear the Supra United practice shirt.
• I will wear shin guards and appropriate footwear at all games and practices.
• I will remove any jewelry, watches or any item that may cause injury to me, teammates, or opposing players prior to participating in games or practices.
DISCIPLINE:
• At all times I will show respect for coaches, referees, teammates, and opposing players.
• Infractions that occur during the game are governed by the Laws of the Game and will be decided by the Referee.
• Certain serious infractions (e.g. Referee Assault) will result in a Discipline Hearing,possible suspension from soccer and a fine being levied by the Ontario Soccer Association. Paying any such fine is my responsibility.
• The team's coach will handle infractions that occur at times other than a game.
RESOLVING PROBLEMS :
Talk to the coach privately. If you are upset, we recommend you wait 24 hours and then determine if you want to pursue the issue. If you feel you need further guidance on an issue, please contact your league manager.
