 Player’s Code of Conduct

 

Each player participating in an activity of The Springfield Youth Club (the “SYC” or the “Club”) will ensure that his/her playing conduct is that of a young lady or gentleman fairly competing to the limit of his/her ability. To satisfactorily meet these responsibilities, the player is expected to comply with the rules of the SYC Player’s Code of Conduct as set our below.

 

1. Know the rules of the sport or activity that he or she is participating in and abide by them.

 

2. Respect the game officials and refrain from addressing them or commenting

on their decisions during the play of the game. The team captain may

address the officials during the game but only within the provisions of the

rules, and in a courteous, respectful manner.

 

3. Maintain control of his/her emotions, avoiding the use of abusive language or profanity, humiliating remarks, and/or gestures of ill temper.

 

4. Do not physically assault, or threaten to physically assault, another player, game official or a coach.

 

5. Respect the coaches and players of the opposing team. Demonstrate

appropriate gestures of sportsmanship during and at the conclusion of the

game, being humble and generous in victory, proud, and courteous in defeat.

 

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

property of others.

 

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 manners

of each individual player.
