Player Code of Conduct

In order to create a positive and enjoyable soccer experience for everyone involved, we ask all parents and players to adhere to the following Code of Conduct. By participating in our league, you agree to uphold these principles and contribute to a safe and respectful environment. Failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct will result in removal during practices or games.  Players may be removed at the discretion of the referee or coach at any time.

The player acknowledgement exists in the Parent Code of Conduct Form. Parents should discuss the following items with the player:
