In light of some situations we had last season, we felt it was a good time to remind everyone that we are all here for the children. We will not tolerate any unsportsmanlike conduct. As part of the registration process there will be a waiver you have to accept. Let's keep it FUN!!!!!
Children's sports are supposed to be fun - for the children. Unfortunately, many parents, fans and coaches don't realize that their actions, whether verbal or nonverbal, can have a lasting emotional effect on children. Too many children are leaving sports activities because the fun is unfairly taken away by adults.
Parents, fans and coaches who follow this simple code can help reinforce what sports are all about... BEING FUN FOR EVERYONE.
The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these "six pillars of character."
As a requirement to register a child to participate in any Zia FC Soccer program our parents must agree to our code of conduct during registration.
