CODE OF CONDUCT
The Woodland Soccer Club is about recreational soccer. Our mission is to provide a safe, enyoyable, and educational experience for everyone involved. That includes not just our young players, but coaches, referees, parents, and volunteers as well. We expect all WSC particpants, both child and adult, to exhibit good sportsmanship at all times, and abide by the WSC codes of conduct.
Parent and Player Code of Conduct Agreement
Parents, players and coaches are required to follow the association’s code of conduct. Players or parents who violate these rules may be disciplined at the game (told to leave) and/or required to appear before the SYSA Judicial Board.
Violations may result in a variety of consequences, including player suspension and parental bans. Coaches are responsible for their players and for controlling their sidelines. Disruptive parents who do not follow coaches instructions may cause the coach to be red-carded, the game forfeited or the game abandoned by the referee.
Code of Conduct for Players
1. Learn and observe the laws of soccer and league rules.
2. Treat other players as you wish to be treated – do not abuse or ridicule other players, officials, coaches or spectators. Control your play and discipline yourself. Do not play wildly or jeopardize your safety or that of other players. Hold your temper and control your anger. Play clean and fair. Use your skill and talent. Don’t cheat.
3. Listen to your coaches and accept their advice with respect.
4. Respect referees and linemen – do not question their decisions. Without referees there would be no games.
5. Give the ball promptly to your opponent for throw-ins, free kicks, etc. Do not stall by withholding the ball or encroaching on free kicks.
6. Win with grace and lose with dignity. You, your club and your association will be judged by your behavior.
Picture Policy
The photographs displayed on the various pages of our site were taken by our unofficial club photographer.
You will notice that when pictures of children are displayed, no player or team names are mentioned. This is the club's policy.
Our unofficial club photographers take pictures at random at club games and events, and uploads the best of them to the site for display. If you discover a picture of your child on the site, and you would prefer that it not be displayed, contact us.
