PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT:

The Scarborough Eastsiders Soccer Club will NOT tolerate behavior which brings the Club, team, or game into disrepute. The Club believes that the attitude shown by parents toward the coaches, the referees, the opposing players and the importance of winning vs. losing are of paramount importance. Inappropriate comments or actions by adults bent on short-term success rather than the long range benefits undermines the essence of competition and introduces stresses which are inappropriate for children:

I will set a good example to my child by behaving at all times in accordance with the following:

• I will not openly criticize the referees before, during or after games.

• I will not openly criticize our opponents or engage in arguments with their parents or officials during or after games.

• I will only give positive feedback to players on both teams.

• I will cheer at all games within the spirit of fair play.

• I will be mindful of our opponents’ feelings when cheering for our team in lop-sided games.

• I will do my best to teach my player to become a student of the game and do likewise.

• I will show the quality of our sportsmanship during and after each and every match and encourage my child to congratulate opponents and match officials after every game.

• I will do my very best to have my child on time and prepared for every match.

• I understand that improper behavior at a match, practice or other Pipeline sponsored events may result in a parent being asked to leave the field or the event by a referee, coach or team manager.

• I understand that, upon review of improper behavior by members of the board, a parent can, and will if necessary, be suspended from watching their child play should such behavior be considered rude or otherwise offensive.

• I will leave the coaching to the coach and refrain from giving my child or any teammate any instructions during training or games.
