Club Sideline Policy
All parents, siblings, and spectators are encouraged to show good sportsmanship and refrain from negative behavior on the sidelines of all games.  Player's and her parents' ("Member Families") behavior reflects on the Club and affects children's performance.  Further, Member Families understand that under the soccer league rules, our Coach can be ejected from our games should Member Families behave improperly.  Member Families understand that unacceptable behavior by a Player's parents or other family member or friend may be addressed by a referee or Club official asking the offending person to leave the game, the facility or removing the player from the game.  Member Families acknowledge that when asked to refrain from further yelling at a game or if asked to leave a game or facility by a match official or Club official, Member Families will comply with that request immediately.  Member Families further acknowledge that if Player, Player's parent or other family member verbally or physically abuses, taunts, inappropriately gestures, throws an object, makes an inappropriate sign or otherwise harasses, intimidates or improperly touches or engages any fan, player, match official, Club coach or representative, or opposing coach or club representative, that conduct in the sole discretion of the Club is grounds for restricting parents' and other family members' a)observation of player during games and practices and b) participation with Player at Club and Team Activities while Player participates with the Club.  The Club may further refer inappropriate conduct to applicable league, tournament, UYSA disciplinary committees and/or law enforcement officials.

Helpful Hints

Parents are vital to our organization. Support your child, your coach, and the referees. Encourage your child to respect the referees and coach.

Parents should:

Positive encouragement of players during the game, in the car after the game, and at home.
Postiive comments about the team and players to other spectators.
Support your team no matter how the game is going.  It is easy to be positive and supportive when things are going well, but more important to be when things are not going well.
Let the Coaches Coach.  See Parent Hanbook for a list of appropriate game comments.
No negative comments about ANY player, no matter what happens.
Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting events.
Set a good example.  Do not yell, ridicule, or criticize your player or any other participant.
Do not publicly question referees judgement and never their honesty.
Recognize the value and importance coaches, trainers and club officials and give them their due respect; without them, there would be no Avalanche Soccer Club.
Be a positive role-model whenever you are around any players.
