    Parent Code of Conduct
 
  • Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.
  • Remember children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours. Teach your child to always play by the rules.
  • Teach your child that hard work and honest effort are often more important than a victory.
  • Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Your child will then be a winner even in defeat.
  • Do not ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or for losing a game.
    Set a good example. Children learn best by example.
  • Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
  • Do not publicly question the referee's judgment and never their honesty.
  • Recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches, referees and officials and give them their due respect. Without them, there would be no AYSO soccer.
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities.
   
    Equipment Check List
 
  • BALL: Bring an appropriately sized, fully inflated, soccer ball to practice (please have your name and phone number clearly printed on it). Many drills require each player to have a ball and we have only a few extras. Ball size chart
  • SHIN GUARDS: Players must have SHIN GUARDS to practice and play. (At games players must wear socks over shin guards). Referees will check before the game begins.
  • SOCCER SHOES : Proper soccer shoes are highly recommended. Local sporting stores have many options. Make sure they are designed for soccer. Do not purchase baseball cleats as they have an extra cleat at the toe and are not safe for soccer.
  • Players must also wear matching uniforms and no jewelry is allowed. Uniforms (Jerseys, Shorts, and Socks) will be given out at the first practice and should be reserved for wearing (clean) at the games only. All uniform jerseys must be tucked in during games.
  • WATER: Players are to bring their own water bottle to all practices and games. Cold water is the best liquid fluid replacement for the kids (Gatorade is a sugar drink better suited for adults doing endurance sports lasting longer than 90 minutes). Having their own water will help us avoid long trips to the fountain.
