WHAT MUST PARENTS DO?
- Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.
- Remember children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours.
- Teach your child always to play by the rules.
- Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than a victory.
- Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Your child will then be a winner, even in defeat.
- Do not ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or for losing a game.
- Set a good example. Children learn best by example.
- Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
- Do not publicly question a referee’s judgment and never their honesty.
- Recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches, referees and officials and give them their due respect. Without them, there would be no AYSO soccer.
- Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities.
PLEASE DON'T SMOKE ON OR NEAR THE FIELDS!
PLEASE DON'T BRING DOGS TO ANY OF THE FIELDS!
Please provide a healthy athletic environment for the kids and our guests.
Clean Up
We are guests in the parks and on the fields that our children play on. Please provide a safe and clean environment. Do not leave trash behind and if you see trash on the field pick it up!
Thanks
Please remember when you ask an AYSO volunteer to do something for you their only pay is your thanks.
Snacks
Sometimes the Team Parents organize a schedule of volunteers to bring drinks / snacks to each game. If your team does not have a Team Parent speak to the team coach about organizing a schedule or becoming the Team Parent. Save the big snacks for the end of the game if possible.
Water
It is best that the kids drink water. If your child likes sports drinks you could mix the sports drink 50/50 with some water before the game.
