Parents/Guests Code of Conduct 

1. Encourage positive sportsmanship by example. Remember that this game is for the kids to enjoy, don’t ruin that for them.

2. Help your team’s parents regain control if they get inappropriately carried away with their emotions and graciously accept these reminders when offered by other parents.

3. Be supportive and accept wins and losses. Give positive feedback to players.

4. Do not coach. Leave the coaching to the coaches.

5. Interact positively with parents of opposing team or do not interact with them at all.

6. Do not openly or directly criticise the referee before, during or after games.

7. Recognise that many of the referees are young and are learning to referee. Support their learning efforts as you do youth players and grassroots players because without them there is no game.

8. Any parent/spectator, who touches, bumps, physically contacts or verbally abuses a game official, coach and/or parent will be kicked out of the academy and never be apart of SFA ever again.

9. Don't approach the coach before or after a tournament game unless there is another representative from SFA present.
