Endeavor to be a good instructor and a positive role model for my players. Referees shall have the respect and support of the coach. Avoid public criticism of officials. Understand that my attitude can influence the players, coaches and spectators. Demand a sports environment for the children free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Before games, opposing coaches should meet and exchange greetings to set the proper tone for the game.

Code of Conduct for Parents As a parent of a player at the FC Peoria Association, I agree to: • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• • • • •
• • • •
Be my child’s best fan! Support my child unconditionally and make him/her feel like a winner! Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not mine. Encourage children to participate, do not force them. Focus on the child's efforts and performance rather than winning or losing. Encourage children always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence. Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake. Remember that children learn best by example. Appreciate good performances and skillful plays by all participants. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from all soccer activities. Respect the decisions of officials and teach children to do likewise. Learn the rules of the game and the policies of the organization and the FC Peoria Fields. Show appreciation and respect for coaches, officials and administrators. Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion. Be kind to my child's coach, other volunteers including board members and concession workers and to the officials. The coaches, board members and concession workers invest their personal time to provide a recreational activity for my child. They are providing a valuable community service, often without reward other than their personal satisfaction. Show respect to the referees. I will refrain from speaking to officials, unless it is to say thank you after the game. If I have questions or concerns with the referees, I will speak to the coach after the game or at practice. Refrain from coaching from the sidelines. Leave coaching to the coaches. Understand that my attitude can influence the players, coaches and spectators. Demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Be sure my child is available for practices and games. Practices are as important as games. Children who simply don’t show up for practice and/or games are letting everybody down. If I know my child is unable to attend a practice or game, I will give the coach reasonable advance notice to enable proper planning. Report to the coach all injuries, special medical conditions (such as asthma) or extenuating circumstances (such as lack of sleep or family crisis) that may affect the player. Send my child ready to play. My child will be dressed in uniform and will arrive on time. On transporting my child home, be supportive and always focus on the positive aspects of the game. Encourage my child to speak with the coach. If my child is having difficulties in training or games, I will encourage my child to speak directly to the coaches, understanding that taking responsibility is a big part of growing into a mature person.

Code of Conduct for Players As a player for FC Peoria, I agree to: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Play by the rules. Never argue with a referee or assistant referee. If I disagree, I will speak with my coach. Control my temper and maintain control over my emotions. I will avoid bad/negative comments and/or gestures, and I know that purposely distracting or annoying an opponent is not allowed behavior in soccer. Work equally hard for myself and my team. My team's performance will benefit, so will I. Be a good sport; applaud good plays whether they are made by my team or the opposition. Treat all participants in soccer as I like to be treated. I will not bully or take unfair advantage of a competitor. Cooperate with my coach, teammates and opponents. Participate for my own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents and coaches. Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion. Respect referees. Understand that my attitude can influence the players, coaches and spectators. Remember that practices are just as important as games and my attendance helps my team. I will notify my coach if I must miss a practice or a game. Not use drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Play for the fun of soccer!

FC Peoria – Volunteer Policy Volunteerism is the foundation of all youth organizations. From the Board of Directors all the way through to the parents, the sharing of time and resources ensures success.
Travel Tournaments Volunteering – Required FC Peoria will host a fall and spring soccer tournament each year; the success of these events is dependent upon volunteers. In order to share the duties and keep workload to a manageable level, FC Peoria will require each family to work a minimum number of hours per tournament. Our Tournament director will calculate the total number of volunteer hours required to successfully execute our events. The total number of hours will be divided evenly among our member families. No less than 2 hours per tournament / per player will be required for each family with a maximum not to exceed 6 hours overall. In addition to this, all families are expected to help prepare the building and grounds for the tournament. During the tournaments there will be many volunteer opportunities, such as overall organization, registration, field lining, trash setup/pickup, parking attendants, registration, concessions, etc. It would be our intention that each family volunteer during time slots when their children are not playing.
Field and Building Maintenance Volunteering – Required In addition to club tournaments, each family is required to volunteer throughout the year to help maintain the fields and buildings. You will be invited to signup for one of these areas when you register your player(s) on the FC Peoria web site. Volunteer hours are scheduled and tracked using SignUpGenius. Consequences of not fulfilling the required commitments will be a $300 fee per family, unless otherwise approved by board of directors due to extenuating circumstances. Failure to pay the fee will result in your child/children not being allowed to attend practice, participate in games, or attend tryouts until it has been paid. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact a member of the FC Peoria Board of Directors.
Field, Building Maintenance, and Other Ongoing Volunteering Needs – Not Required We have other ongoing or one-time volunteer opportunities for those individuals (this can include grandparents) who have some extra time they could provide to the Club. Building and grounds opportunities range from field lining to snow plowing/shoveling to one-time projects, etc.
