PARENT/PLAYER SPORTSMANSHIP AGREEMENT

To the parent/guardians of our soccer players:

Your coach asks your cooperation in abiding by the rules and guidelines that players, coaches, referees, and spectators are required to follow. FIFA, US Soccer, Washington State Youth Soccer Association (WYSA), District 5 and the Camas/Washougal Soccer Club set these guidelines forth. The above has adapted these organizations for the safety and enjoyment of Soccer and "In the Spirit of the Game".

In order to help us provide a fun and positive experience for everyone, we ask that you sign this agreement:

I WILL BE POSITIVE -- I will express support and encouragement for my child and his/her teammates--nice pass, good job, atta boy/girl.

I WILL RESPECT THE COACH -- I will support the coach and help out when asked. I understand that any coaching or tactical instructions from the parent's side of the field is NOT allowed. I will let the coach do the coaching without my interference.

I WILL RESPECT THE REFEREE --I will give professional respect before, during and after the game to the referee. I will refrain from criticizing referees. I will accept the official decisions without anger no matter how unfair they may seem.

I WILL RESPECT CLUB OFFICIALS -- I understand that soccer has rules and guidelines, such as player placement on a team and recruitment of players, and all decisions are based on those rules and guidelines.

I WILL BE A GOOD SPORT --By my example I will teach my child good sportsmanship toward the opposing team and parents and respect for the property owned by the school district and property owned or leased by the club or others.

I WILL RECOGNIZE THE VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS

-- Coaches, referees and club officials give of their time and resources to provide recreational activities for my child.

I WILL NOT BRING ANY PETS ONTO ANY SOCCER FIELD and will inform anyone else who does that pets are not allowed on our soccer fields.

I WILL ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES IF I BEHAVE IMPROPERLY -- These consequences may include my being told by the referee to leave the field; my being suspended from attending games; possible disciplinary actions against the head coach.
