Code of Conduct
Soccer Academy Alliance Canada has endeavoured to provide a unique competitive
program to its members that strives to provide the best possible conditions for
player development.
The
purpose of this program is to allow players to showcase their skills and put
into practice the training they received from the professional staff at the
member academies.
To that
end, SAAC enforces a strict Code of Conduct for sideline behaviour that ALL
participants in this program are expected to follow.
| Coaching Staff: |
- Be respectful of the referee and your
opponents
- Refrain from using foul or abusive
language
- Limit the amount of coaching done from
the sidelines to only when necessary
- Keep your players and fans under control
- Remember that the score of the game is
secondary to the opportunity for your players to demonstrate and improve
their game
|
| Players: |
- Be respectful of the referee and your
opponents
- Refrain from using foul or abusive
language
- Remember that you are here to provide a
strong performance, and that the result of the match is secondary to it's
benefit as a development tool
|
| Fans: |
- Be respectful of the referee and the
teams on the field
- Refrain from using foul or abusive
language
- Keep comments positive
- Refrain from coaching from the sidelines
- Remember that you are here to support your
child, not win a game where the final result is not the primary focus
- Keep in mind that your attendance at SAAC
events is a privilege, not a right
|
| Everyone: |
- Keep the benches and
viewing areas clean by picking up after yourself and depositing
trash in the receptacles provided. Teams leaving garbage behind for others
to clean
up WILL BE FINED.
- Smoking is NOT ALLOWED on the
premises at any SAAC event (indoor or outdoor)
|
Individuals and teams that choose to ignore the SAAC policy will be politely
reminded of the Code of Conduct at
the first disturbance, and asked to leave at the second.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
