Players:
A player that does not abide by the Code of Conduct or the Laws of the Game may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the team. Fighting, swearing, dangerous or violent play will not be tolerated at any time. Disrupting of practices and games by inappropriate behavior will be dealt with as follows:

• The coach will initially sideline a player either at the game or practice.
• The player may return after a period of time determined by the coach.
• If the poor behavior persists, the parent will be contacted by the coach and will be required to attend the practices and games to discipline their child.
• If this does not resolve the problem, the child and parent will be required to attend a meeting with the coach, the AYSO Coach Administrator and the Regional Commissioner to determine the proper course

Spectators:

Parents' Code

• Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.
• Remember children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours.
• 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.
• Do not ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or losing a game.
• Set a good example. Children learn best by example.
• Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
• Do not publicly question referee 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 be no AYSO soccer.
• Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities.

 

In soccer, the referee is law. His or her decisions are final. Some of our coaches and referees are new to the game of soccer. Our referees are mostly current of former Palos AYSO players. Refereeing is a difficult task and mistakes will occur. No useful purpose is served by shouting disagreement or derogatory remarks. Such action will be handled as follows:

• Spectator may be asked to leave the field and the game may be terminated.
  
• Additional disciplinary actions can also be taken as determined by the Palos AYSO Regional Board Disciplinary Committee including suspension or expulsion from the program.
• Multiple instances of violating the Parent Code of Conduct will result in suspension and/or expulsion from the program. 

Please reach out to the Palos AYSO Regional Board with any questions or to report an incident.
