Parent Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct is developed to define the standards of ethical and moral behavior from parent/guardians of players participating with Leavenworth Soccer Association.

1. Support and Encourage: I will support my child's participation in soccer and encourage them to have fun, develop their skills, and enjoy the game.
2. Respect for Coaches and Officials: I will respect the authority and decisions of the coaches and game officials, even if I disagree with them. I understand that they are doing their best to provide a positive experience for the players.
3. Positive Role Model: I will be a positive role model for my child by demonstrating good sportsmanship, respect for others, and fair play always. I will respect the facilities, equipment, and property of the hosting organization and ensure my child does the same.
4. No Yelling or Criticizing: I will not yell at, criticize, or berate my child, their teammates, coaches, opponents, or officials. I will provide constructive feedback and support in a respectful manner.
5. Conflict Resolution: If I have concerns or conflicts, I will address them privately and respectfully with the coach or appropriate league officials, following the proper channels for resolution.
6. Cheering and Applauding: I will cheer for all players, not just my child, and applaud good plays from both teams. I will not engage in negative comments or taunting towards players, coaches, or officials.
7. Safety: I will support and encourage safety measures, such as proper equipment, injury prevention, and compliance with safety guidelines.
8. No Pressure: I will not put excessive pressure on my child to perform at a level beyond their capability, and I will focus on their development and enjoyment rather than winning at all costs.
9. Privacy: I will respect the privacy and confidentiality of other players and their families, avoiding gossip or sharing sensitive information.
10. Compliance with Rules and Regulations: I will ensure that my child and I are aware of and comply with all league rules, codes of conduct, and policies.
