Code of Conduct.

In addition to the Mount Eliza Soccer Clubs code of conduct policy, our club is committed to creating a safe, respectful and positive atmosphere in which players, officials, members and families can thrive.  Accordingly, all parents of junior players are committed to the following behaviours:

• Respect the referee’s decisions – don’t complain or argue about decisions during or after a game.
• Unsportsmanlike language, harassment or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated.
• Encourage players to play by the rules and to respect opposition players and officials.
• Never ridicule or scorn a player for making a mistake – respect their efforts.
• Condemn all violent or illegal acts, whether they are by players, coaches, officials, parents or spectators.
• Understand that sport is part of a total life experience, and the benefits of involvement go far beyond the final score of a game.
• Participate in positive cheering that encourages the players in the team you are supporting; do not engage in any cheering that taunts or intimidates opponents, their fans or officials.
• Remember that children participate for their own enjoyment, not yours!
• At all times, follow the directions of the Ground Manager and/or other duty officials.
• Never arrive at a game under the influence of alcohol.
