The following standards are established to govern the behavior of players before, during, and after soccer matches:

  • I will not address remarks to opposing players, referees, coaches or spectators. This doesn’t apply to genuine remarks of friendship, apology or acknowledgment of excellent play.
  • I will not retaliate when fouled or ever engage in play with the intent to harm the opposition or a team mate.
  • I will avoid comments or gestures that express disagreement with a referees call although I may ask for an explanation if I don’t understand. I will never argue with a referee’s decision.
  • I will play against my opponents and not worry over calls made by the referee since these may distract me.
  • I will control my temper at all times and will never use profanity during practice or games.
  • I will convey a positive attitude towards my opponents and team mates and never belittle them.
  • I will listen and be attentive when the coach is talking and ask questions if I don’t understand.
  • I will inform the coach when I’m hurt or am limited by physical or mental stress.
