CODE OF CONDUCT

At Fulton United Soccer, we strive to create a positive environment for the players, coaches, volunteers, and families of the league. We feel that these guidelines will ensure the best opportunity for that environment to flourish.

Be Positive – we are a recreational league. The purpose of the league is to teach the players the game of soccer in a positive, instructional, and fun environment. It is perfectly acceptable to encourage both teams and acknowledge good play on both sides.
- Negative Speech- we will not tolerate negative speech, vulgarity, hazing or degrading of players, coaches, volunteers, referees, etc. This is a youth league.
Referees- it is not acceptable for players or spectators to argue with, criticize, or dispute the official even when they have made a mistake. Our referees are volunteers from area high schools. They are kids. They are doing their best. Any issues with referees can be respectfully brought up to the referee coordinator or the board member on duty.
Spectators Spectate – there will be no coaching from the sidelines by spectators. There are a multitude of reasons, from distraction of players to undermining the coach, and creating chaos on the field. If you want to coach, you can volunteer.
Coaches – be kind to your child’s coach. They volunteered for this. The coaches have chosen to give their time and knowledge to teaching the players soccer, team work, and sportsmanship. If you need to speak with the coach regarding an issue do so in private, if necessary, a board member can mediate. Coaches are not babysitters, a parent or guardian must be present for games and practices.
Support the team – families can bring team snacks, offer up solutions to problems, and volunteer to help the coach at practices, and games.
Be a Role Model – remember our children are always watching us and they emulate our behavior. Positive reinforcement, encouragement, sportsmanship are keys to being a positive role model.

Code of conduct violations will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the board.
