Player Code of Conduct RUSH WISCONSIN expects all players to maintain a high standard of conduct at all times and will enforce the standard firmly and fairly. If and when violations occur, the violator will receive disciplinary action from RUSH WISCONSIN according to its Rules & Policies. 1. Be a good sport whether you win or lose. Show a positive attitude toward your teammates, coaches, game officials, and spectators watching the game. 2. Respect the people you play against. After all, without them, you would have no one to play. Do not address comments to opposing players, coaches, spectators, or referees unless your comments express genuine friendship and respect; or unless they constitute a direct response to questions by game, league, or tournament officials. In other words, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t’ say anything at all!” 3. Follow the rules. Your team, the league and soccer in general all have rules for practices and games. Practices and games are more fun and safe within the rules. 4. Be there for your team! Players are expected to be at all team activities and to arrive on time with proper equipment and prepared to play. Players are expected to be at all team activities even if they are unable to actively participate. The guideline for player attendance at team activities is: if the player is able to go to school, she/he is expected to attend the team activities. The converse is also true: if the player was unable to attend school, then the player should not attend the team activity. Whenever a player is unable to attend a team activity, the player is expected to let the team manager know in
advance in writing or via telephone. Unexcused absences and other disciplinary matters will be handled in accordance with the team policies set by the coach and the RUSH WISCONSIN Director of Coaching at the start of the season. 5. Players play in games at the sole discretion of the coach. Despite any other assurances, players are not guaranteed playing time. Players play at positions assigned at the sole discretion of the coach. Players should not demand to play or not play certain positions. You must remember that you are playing competitive soccer and the coach will play you where it is best for the team and your individual development. Because the program goals include improvement of each participant’s soccer skills and knowledge, coaches can, when appropriate, use game and practice situations to teach new positions to players. I agree to abide by this Player Code of Conduct at all times.
