Parent (Spectator/Guardian)

What we expect out of a Campton United Parent!

(Parent/Guardian/Spectator)

As a parent and member of Campton United Soccer Club, we look for you to hold yourself and any of your family members attending your child's games and events by the same high standards we hold ourselves by. Campton United expects a parent / spectator / guardian, to follow the club's code of conduct and guidelines.  I am also aware that:

  • I agree to pay the annual tuition outlined by Campton United Soccer Club. Failure to remit dues payments on a timely basis may result in suspension from all soccer activities until dues have been paid.
  • I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, game officials, and administrators at all times.
  • I will place the emotional and physical well being of all players ahead of any personal desire to win.
  • I will support the coaches, officials, and administrators working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.
  • I will remember that the game is for the players, not for the adults.
  • I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, game officials, administrators, and fans with respect.
  • I will always be positive.
  • I understand and will support changes to practice due to the weather, field availability, daylight savings time and the coaches’ availability.
  • I will always allow the coach to be the only coach.
  • I will not coach from the sidelines or through other forms of communication.
  • I will not get into arguments with the opposing team’s parents, players, or coaches.
  • I will not come onto the field for any reason during the game.
  • I will wait 24 hours after a game or tournament before I approach my coach about any playing time issues or player concerns that I have.
  • Neither coaches, parents, nor other team supporters may make critical, abusive or offensive comments to the players, coaches or supporters of an opposing team before, during, or after a game.
  • Games are officiated by referees and their assistants, not coaches, parents, or spectators. There is a process and a time for coaches to disagree with calls. Voice your opinion to your coach, not the officials.
  • Parents and other team supporters may not approach game officials at any time for the purpose of disputing calls, or making critical, abusive or offensive comments.
  • Neither coaches, parents nor other team supporters may be present behind goals or on the first 18 yards of each sideline beginning at each corner. These "clear zones" protect keepers and players taking corner kicks.
  • The referee may require any person present at a Campton United game to leave the game site.
  • Campton United will prosecute or support the prosecution of anyone who violates any law or ordinance (e.g. assault or possession of alcohol...etc.).
  • Any coach, assistant coach, coordinator, parent, spectator, or player who is dismissed from a game by a referee or a Campton United Official must leave the complex immediately.
  • The individual may not return to the complex or field after the game. The individual may not return to the complex until one hour after the scheduled completion of the next contest of that team. Any individual who violates these rules will be suspended for an additional game.
  • Any coach, assistant coach, manager, parent, spectator, or player who is dismissed from a game by a referee or a Campton United Official for fighting must leave the complex immediately. The individual may not return to the complex or field after the game. The individual is immediately suspended from attending the next two games of that team. Furthermore, the individual may not attend any other game involving Campton United teams until that two game suspension has ended. Any individual who violates these rules will be suspended for an additional game.
