MCYSA Parent Code of Conduct Parents/Spectators must set the
example for the children by exemplifying the highest standards
of sportsmanship. Parents/Spectators participate in a match by
watching, cheering, and supporting the efforts of all
participants of the match. Soccer must be Fun. The game is for
the children; their participation and enjoyment of the game is
the most important element. Parents have responsibilities to the
coach, team, and soccer organization they are a part of.
Parents/Spectators must have respect for their coach, all
children on the team, and the authority of the referee and
his/her assistants. The essential elements of character-building
and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of
sportsmanship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The
highest potential of sports is achieved when competition
reflects these "six pillars of character." I therefore agree: 1.
I will not force my child to participate in sports. 2.
