PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT

• Soccer is your child’s game. Help to make athletic participation for your child and others a positive experience.
• Respect & adhere to the policies set forth by Tonka Fusion Elite, the league & your child’s team.
• Be kind to your child's coach and officials.  Parents encourage, coaches coach.
• Lead by example & always maintain self-control
• Treat our opponents with a high level of respect. Without them your child could not participate.  We need them and they need us.
• Soccer is a team sport. Parents should applaud the successes of all players as well as their own child.  Respect the feelings and capabilities of your child and their teammates and opponents.
• Do not question the referee’s judgment and never the honesty. He/she/they are a symbol of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship.  They are human and doing their best.  Without them, your child does not play.
• Exhibit a high degree of sportsmanship, teamwork & positive attitude always when representing your child, the team and the club.
• Accept the results of every game. Encourage the child to be gracious in victory and turn defeat to victory by working towards improvements.
• Do your best to get your player prepared and to practices and games on time. Being late or unprepared can have a negative impact on your child.
• Respect the 24hr. rule when addressing the concerns you have with the coach/staff of the club.  Your player must be present and involved in these meetings.  Empower your child to own their own development and to express their own concerns.
• Refrain from using foul, abusive, derogatory language towards anyone while participating in any Tonka Fusion Elite event, game or practice.
• Refrain from using social media to express negativity toward anyone associated with Tonka Fusion Elite or our opponents.   Lead by example for your player.
• Commit to paying all club & team fees.
• Allow and encourage your child to own communication with their coaches, which includes letting coaches know when they will be late or will be missing a practice/game
• Parental evaluation carries a great deal of weight with the child. The attitude shown by parents at games towards their child, the opposing team, the officials and the coach influence a child's behavior in sports. Criticism, disrespect for officials and opponents by parents bent on immediate success rather than long-range benefits undermines the purpose of sport and brings the games stresses beyond those of competition.
