Oceanside Stallions
Parent's Code of Conduct

• I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win. I will teach my child that doing one's best is as important as winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game. I will never force my child to participate in sports.

• I will remember that the game is for the youth and that my child plays sports for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.

• I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment. I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.

• I will do my very best to make football fun for my child. I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly and trying hard. I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and referees at every game, practice, or other Oceanside Stallions A.C. Football events. I will remember that children learn best by example.

• I will set a positive example by applauding good plays/performances by both my child's team and their opponent.

• I will support the volunteer coaches, and referees working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will not question the official's judgment or honesty in public.

• I will respect the volunteerism of our league's coaches, referees, and administration. I will acknowledge, through my respectful behavior, the commitment to my child that these people make by choosing to volunteer their time. I will treat my child's coach as I would his/her teacher and support their efforts to help my child develop as a player.

• I will demand a sport's environment for my child that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and will refrain from their use at all Oceanside Stallions A.C. Football events. I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from my child's sporting activities.

• I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and referees with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.

• I promise to help my child enjoy football by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation. I will be involved and set a respectful example by ensuring my child's attendance at practice and games on time.

Adherences to these rules of conduct are mandatory. Refusal to abide by these simple rules of conduct will result in my ejection from the filed, and facility, and if continued, my child's expulsion from the Oceanside Stallions A.C.Football League, without refund, or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of Oceanside Stallions A.C. Football League.
