I Will:

• Abide by the announced policies of the Club.
• Support the entire team, not only my child.
• Not be critical of my child or any team member or member of the opposing team.

• Leave the coaching to the coaches and not undermine the coaches.
• Not encourage my child to play in a manner inconsistent with the coaches' plans or directions.
• Not discuss topics such as playing time or results with the coaches on the same day as a game, as emotions are running high and may limit effective communication.
• Not use profanity at any time during a Greensboro Youth Soccer function or activity.
• Place the emotional and physical well being of the players ahead of my personal desire to win.
• Remember that soccer is for the kids and not for the adults.
• Support the coaches' decisions to foster a unified and positive environment for my child.
• Support the team and Club through volunteer efforts as encouraged or required by the Club or coaches.
• Not force my child to play soccer unless it is what he or she wants to do.
