The following standards are established by the MFC and govern the behavior of all MFC Parents, before, during and after soccer club events:

1.  As a Parent I will let players and coaches take responsibility for the first goal playing competitively. I will relentlessly focus on the second, more important goal of using sports to teach life lessons to my child and other youth.

2.  I will use positive encouragement for my children, their teammates, and coaches. I understand that people do their best with positive reinforcement.

3.  I will use a self-control routine to avoid losing my composure when things go wrong. I will take a deep breath, turn away from the game to refocus, count backwards from 100 or use self-talk.

4.  I will engage in No-Directions Cheering. I will limit my comments during the game to encouraging my child and other players (from both teams)

5.  I will refrain from making negative comments about my child’s coach in my child’s presence. I understand that this will help to avoid planting negative seeds in my child’s head that can negatively influence my child’s motivation and overall experience.

6.  I will demand a soccer environment for my child free of drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all practices and games.

7.  If my child develops a behavior-related problem that repeatedly disrupts practices and/or games, I promise to work with my child’s coach to resolve that problem.

8.  I will not sit or stand on the coaches’ and players’ sideline during a match, unless invited by the coach.

9.  I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from MFC events.

10. I will support the coach’s decision to play or not play my child.  We trust our coach to make a decision based on what is best for the team.

11. I will encourage fair play and good sportsmanship by treating coaches, players, and officials with respect, regardless of race, sex, or ability.

12. I will refrain from discussing any issues about a game with the referee or linesman at any time. This includes a call or lack of a call, before, during or after a game, and includes at the field or away from it. If I have an issue, I agree to abide by the 24 hour rule.

13. I will remember that as a fan, I represent the Millennium Futbol Club and the community. I understand poor behavior during practices, games, or tournaments may result in expulsion from the soccer complex. If this happens repeatedly, it will result in expulsion from the Club.
