Parent Code of Conduct

Parent and Player Code of Conduct

The purpose of KC Fire FC is to offer players the opportunity to participate in the game of soccer, with the emphasis on enjoying the game, learning the life lessons the game will teach them and practicing good sportsmanship. The support of parents is crucial to the success of each player.

While most of us are well behaved and understand soccer is a game, it is important to remind parents and players of core attributes and behavior that KC Fire FC believes is critical to the success of our players and teams.  It is simple, parents cheer, players play, coaches coach and referees officiate the games.   Any violation of these expectations could result in a player being released from our teams and/or parents being banned from attending games and/or practices.  

Parents Expectations:

  •  I will let the child play the game and continuously encourage them.
  • I will not criticize, yell or intimidate  my child or any other player before, during or after the game. 
  • I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am an official coach of the team.
  • I will respect the referees and field marshals authority and will never question, discuss or criticize their decisions during or after a game.
  • I will not discuss a game, play or strategy with a COACH for at least 24 hours after a game.  
  • I will not discuss a game, play or strategy with a PLAYER for at least 24 hours after a game.
  • I will not be negative or confrontational  on the sidelines with other parents from our team or the other team. 
  • I will not disparage or be confrontational to the coach, players or other team parents in group electronic communications (team chats, social media, text or email).   Address any issues one on one with the coach or a club official.  
  • I am responsible for the behavior of spectators that I have brought to the games. 

Player Expectations:

  • I will come to practices and games prepared to start at the scheduled time.  This includes both jerseys for games, shoes, shin guards, water and hat/gloves if it is cold outside.  
  • I will have a positive attitude and do my best to be a good influence on the team.  This includes not being a distraction at practice and games.
  • I will not criticize, yell or intimidate other players before, during or after the game.
