In ethics, what matters is what one does or says, not what one thinks. An ethic has little value until it is put into practice. For this reason, every player, coach, parent and fan is encouraged to adopt the philosophy of this code of ethics and follow these principles while participating in our program. 

• The most important, fundamental concept that must be taught and learned is what is meant by good play. 

• Good play is skillful, fair sporting play that does not include foul or abusive language. 

• The attitude of players, coaches and spectators toward referees is vital. The referee’s job is to ensure that fair and skillful soccer prevails. They may make mistakes, but players, coaches and spectators shall accept the referee’s decisions without dissent. 

• A match played in a fair and sporting manner will be more enjoyable for all concerned. Nothing is wrong with wanting to win; what is wrong, is wanting to win at any cost. 

• The coach, players and the spectators shall acknowledge good, skillful play; and must allow for mistakes, especially by younger, less skillful players. 

• The coach, by actions and words, shall encourage a love of the game in all who come into his/her sphere of influence. The coach must always put the welfare of the players before the results of any game. 

• A coach should not shout at, nor demean players or officials. 

• The coach should provide the role model for his/her players. Players can be expected to behave according.
