1.         I understand that the referees control the game, in keeping with MYASP, state, national and FIFA soccer policies.

2.         I will not criticize the referees openly or directly, during or after games.  Any complaints relating to referee actions or decisions are to be brought in writing to the MYA soccer board director at www.myasoccer.com/board_members.

3.         I will only give positive feedback to players, on either team.

4.         I will cheer at all games within the spirit of fair play, and will do my best to cheer the effort regardless of the outcome.

5.         I shall leave the coaching to the coach during the games. I shall do my best  not to give my child instructions during the game. 

6.         I will show respect for the coaches who have volunteered their time to coach my child’s team. If I disagree with a coach’s decision or methods, I will discuss the issue with the coach directly, at a time that does not interrupt a game or practice.

7.         I understand that improper behavior at a game may result in a parent being asked to leave the field by the referee or an MYA official.

Teamwork

1.         I will help to teach my child the value of teamwork by emphasizing the importance of attending practices, listening to the coach and supporting teammates regardless of their skill level.I shall support the learning effort of the players, the coaches and the referees by demonstrating my patience.

2.         I will remember that the MYA is an all-volunteer organization.  I will try to find time in my schedule to help my child’s team or the league in whatever meaningful way I can.
I agree to try to have as much fun watching the game as the players should have playing the game.
