Family Code of Conduct

By purchasing a package with Soccer Routes you herby agree to adhere to our code of conduct.

If you are found in violation of this code of conduct, you may be removed from the program without notice or refund.

All family members and visitors to Soccer Routes agree to uphold this code of conduct.

Families enrolled in the program will be held responsible for the conduct of any guests they bring to the location.

  • Families will get their player to sessions on time and make an effort to ensure they are in play condition. (Uniform / proper shoes / shin guards when needed)

  • Families are expected to model behavior consistent with good sportsmanship.

  • Families that yell excessively, or are abusive to players, other families or staff will be asked to leave the field / removed from the program at their complete expense.

  • Families that disrespect the coach, the staff, the session, players or other parents will be asked to leave the field.

  • Families that demonstrate these behaviors will not only be asked to leave the game, they may be asked to leave the program.

  • Families cheer; coaches coach. We ask that you cheer for all children from the sidelines. Please allow the coach to provide any feedback to the parents after the session.

  • No coaching from the sideline. You are not a coach. It’s confusing for the players to receive coaching direction from multiple sideline sources.

  • During practices parents are not allowed on the field. Parents should stay on the sidelines marked by our perimeter cones.

  • Families are expected to stand back from the sideline. The players need room on the sideline to take throw ins. Parents need to stand well back from the sideline, showing the players that the touchline is an important line for out of bounds.

  • If a spectator(s) fails to respond to a coaches request to cease and desist from improper behavior, the coach is empowered to terminate the session.

  • Cheer, but don’t criticize. Know the difference between cheering (“nice pass,” “good run,” “way to go”) and criticizing (“run faster,” “kick harder,” “what are you doing?”). Kids are positively motivated by cheering.

  • Exit field after session swiftly. Please allow us to reset for the next session.

  • Pick up all litter after games and practices. After every practice and every game, leave the field cleaner than you found it. Soccer Routes is not responsible for client belongings and will not hold any lost items.
