Teams are never too young to remind about good sportsmanship!
For the coach and manager:
You are in charge of your team and must be aware of the mostly positive parents and those few (hopefully none) that might create a negative atmosphere for the players, opponents, referees and/or other parents!
For the parents:
Please relax and enjoy the games. It is never ok to berate the referee or the other team – even if they make a mistake!
Soccer is a physically demanding sport that players will quickly abandon if their parents turn it into an ordeal. If the player is playing hard – as most do - it should be a very positive experience with lots of encouragement!
For the players:
Respect your opponents – no foul language; no trash talk!
Respect your coaches and parents – behave in a way that will make them proud of you and your team!
Respect the referee – even if they make a mistake!
Respect our sport – the world’s sport – obey the laws, especially those that have to do with proper language and the way you treat your opponents – teams needed to help you become a better player, and your team a better team!
