As a Total Soccer Club Parent or Family Member, I: 

 

·         understand that I am a role model and I am accountable for my actions and must lead by example

 

·         understand that my actions, good and bad, reflect directly not only on myself but also on the team, and TSC.  A team and club’s reputation is built on behavior, courtesy, sportsmanship and playing ability

 

·         understand that verbally abusing players, coaches, referees, spectators, or opponents is unacceptable

 

·         will respect my coaches’ time by being on time to drop off or pick up players for all practices and games

 

·         will not coach, criticize, confront, argue with or make negative comments intended for players, opponents, coaches, referees, or other spectators.  Sideline comments at practices and games should always be positive

 

·         will support the coach and refrain from making inappropriate comments in front of my children as they will carry that attitude onto the soccer field

 

·         understand that the amount of playing time my child receives in games will be based on their skills, punctuality, attitude and practice/game performance.  I know that they may receive more or less playing time than their teammates and playing time is not guaranteed (The coach will make every effort to provide 50% playing time during each half for all players U8 – U12 that adhere to this commitment)

 

·         will abide by the “FIFA Rules of the Game” and the rules, policies and procedures of Total Soccer Club, Lake Country Soccer and any corresponding tournament

 

·         understand that it is a privilege to watch my child participate as a member of TSC, and that privilege can be suspended if my behavior is found to be inconsistent with the expected, acceptable behavior

 

·         will use the 24 Hour Rule when I am concerned about soccer related issues that require me to talk with the coach.  24 Hour Rule: If a parent is unhappy with an issue regarding their child or team, TSC strongly recommends waiting 24 hours to discuss the issue.  Cooler heads are inevitably more productive.
