SSC Conduct and Sportsmanship Agreement

During our registration process, registrants are asked to view and accept our Conduct and Sportsmanship Agreement.

To the Parents, Fans and Players of the Slinger Soccer Club:

By signing/accepting the Slinger Soccer Club Registration Form, you as a parent, and your child, have entered into the Parent Code of Conduct and the Player Code of Conduct Agreement.

• Remember….in all we do…the game is for the kids.
• Remember…that respect for the game, the players, coaches, parents, and referees is expected.

It’s the least that we can do.

Parent Code of Conduct

Pure and simple…it’s the job of the parents to set a positive example. If not you…then who?

As part of the Code of Conduct, parents’ responsibilities include:

• Treat the game, all players, coaches, referees, and fans with respect on and off the field.
• Let the coach be the coach. It’s his/her job. If you have input for the coach, please address it with the coach before or after the game. During the game, it’s the coach’s job to coach, and your job to cheer.
• Support your team without denigrating the other team.
• Never yell at or touch the referee.
• Help the coach by making sure your son/daughter is at practices and games on time and is properly equipped.
• Discuss issues/problems/concerns with the coach, the Director of Coaching, or a Slinger Soccer Board member. Slinger Soccer Club reserves the right to accept or reject applications that are submitted.
• Assist with any fundraisers and volunteer when needed.
• It is your responsibility to keep up a full understanding of all rules and regulations, as rules may change from time to time. At any time the Slinger Soccer Club Board of Directors reserves the right to dismiss players or parents from the Slinger Soccer Club for inappropriate conduct, language and /or failure to abide by the rules and regulations as deemed by the Slinger Soccer Board or its affiliates.
