SSC Parent Code of Conduct - Encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice or other youth soccer event.
- Place the emotional and physical well being of children first, at all times. Insist that your child play in a safe and healthy environment.
- Remember that the game is for children and not for adults. Do your best to make youth soccer fun for the children.
- Be sure your child is available for most practices and games. Practices are as important as games. Children who simply don’t show up for practice and/or games are letting everybody down.

- Report to the coach all injuries, special medical conditions (such as asthma) or extenuating circumstances (such as lack of sleep or family crisis) that may affect your child.
- Send your child ready to play. Your child should be dressed in uniform and arrive on time.
- If you do not agree with a coaching decision or a referee’s decision during a game, in an effort to promote and reinforce the positive and enjoyable soccer experience envisioned by theShaler Soccer Club, reserve your comments for the coach until after the game.
- Treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect, good manners and common decency. Ask your child to treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect, good manners and common decency. If a coach, official orSSC representative calls to your attention that your child is not treating coaches, fans and officials with respect, you will counsel your child on his/her need to do so and explain that failure to correct such an attitude may result in disciplinary action by the SSC, which may include expulsion.
- Help your child’s team by assisting the coaches and manager as needed, and providing ground transportation when available to do so.
