Parent's Code

  • Do not force an unwilling child to participate in soccer.
  • Remember children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours.
  • Teach your child to play by the rules.
  • Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than a victory.
  • Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game.  Your child will then be a winner, even in defeat.
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities.
  • Set a good example.  Children learn best by example.  Do not yell at, ridicule or criticize your child or any other participant.
  • Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
  • Do not publicly question referees judgment and never their honesty.
  • Recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches, referees and officials and give them their due respect; without them, there would by no Mustang Soccer Club.
  • Be a positive role-model whenever you are around any players. 
  • Leave conflict resolution to the field marshals or officials. 

Parents who are unable to abide by the code of conduct will be subject to review by the player committee and the Mustang BOD.  Actions of said committees can be the suspension of parents from attendance at youth games if such action is deemed necessary.
