PARENT/GUARDIAN CONTRACT SEASON 2017/18

      The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied
      in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles; trustworthiness, repect,
      responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship. The highest potential of
      sport is achieved when completion reflects these “six pillars of character”

I therefore agree:

1.    I will not force my child to participate in soccer.

2.    I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for
      youth, not adults.

3.    I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the
      safety of my child or the safety of others.
4.    I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the Club.

5.    I will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by
      showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all
      players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game and practice.

6.     I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official,
       coach, player or parent such as booing and taunting, refusing to shake hands
       or using profane language or gestures.

7.     I will not encourage any behaviours or practices that would endanger the
       health and well-being of players.

8.     I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without re-
       sorting to hostility or violence.

9.     I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and specta-
       tors with respect regardless of race, colour, creed, sex or ability.

10.    I will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning, so
       that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his/her
       performance.

11.    I will praise my child for competing fairly and trying hard, and make my child
       feel like a winner every time.

                                             7
12.   I will never ridicule or shout at my child or other participant for making a
      mistake or losing a match

13.   I will emphasise skill development and practices and how they benefit my
      child over winning. I will also de-emphasis games and competition in the
      lower ages.

14.   I will promote the emotional and physical well-being of the players ahead of
      any personal desire I may have for my child to win.

15.   I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never
      question, discuss, or confront coaches at the game and will take time to speak
      to coaches at an agreed upon time and place.

16.   I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from any kind of
      drugs.

17.   I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during matches and
       training.

18.   I will as a parent be personally responsible the behaviour of any person that I
      have invited to matches or training.
