The Springfield Youth Club

 Code of Conduct for Parents, Guardians and Spectators

 

 

Each parent, guardian and/or spectator attending an activity of The Springfield Youth Club (the “SYC” or the “Club”) will ensure that his/her conduct is that of a lady or gentleman while observing the activity (including, but not limited to, a practice or competition, as well as the period of time after the activity, practice or competition has concluded). To satisfactorily meet these responsibilities, every parent, guardian and/or spectator is expected to comply with the rules of the Code of Conduct for Parents, Guardians and Spectators as set out below.

 

1. Respect the rules of the game.

 

2. Respect the game officials and refrain from questioning their decisions or

from addressing them in a loud, disrespectful, or abusive manner.

 

3. Cheer for their team in a positive, supportive manner refraining at all times

from making negative or abusive remarks about the opposing team.

 

4. Maintain control of his/her emotions and avoid actions, language and/or

gestures that may be interpreted as hostile or humiliating. Any physical assault or threat of a physical assault, upon a player, game official, coach or other spectator is strictly prohibited.

 

4. Refrain at all times from coming onto the playing surfaces or from throwing

objects or other foreign materials onto the playing surfaces. Exit in an orderly

manner at the conclusion of the activity. Enter indoor facilities quietly and

remain seated during the activity (including, but not limited to, a practice or competition).

 

5. Follow all building and facility rules and regulations, respecting at all times the

property of others.

 

6. Demonstrate appropriate gestures of sportsmanship at the conclusion of the

game, win or lose.

 

7. Realize, accept and practice the principle that a team’s reputation is built not

only on its playing ability but also on sportsmanship, courtesy and citizenship

of its fans.

 

8. Comply with the SYC Child Protection Policy which includes remaining at a playing site or practice field until all children on the team have been picked up

by either their parent or their guardian
