4 EXPLOSION FC CODE OF ETHICS All Participants, coaches, and spectators will be bound by the following Code of Ethics while participating in Sanctioned events Players I will encourage good sportsmanship from fellow players, coaches, officials and parents at all times. I will remember that soccer is an opportunity to learn and have fun. I deserve to play in an environment that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol; and expect everyone to refrain from their use at all soccer games. I will do the best I can each day, remembering that all players have talents and weaknesses the same as I do. I will treat my coaches, other players and coaches, game officials, other administrators, and fans with respect at all times; regardless of race, sex, creed, or abilities, and I will expect to be treated accordingly. I will concentrate on playing soccer. Always giving my best effort. I will play by the rules at all times. I will at all times control my temper, resisting the temptation of retaliate. I will always exercise self control. While traveling, shall conduct themselves so as to being credit to themselves and their team. Coaches/Managers I will never place the value of winning before the safety and welfare of all players I will always show respect for players, other coaches, and game officials. I will lead by example, demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship at all times. I will be demonstrate knowledgeable of the rules of the game, and teach these rules to my players. I will never use abusive or insulting language. I will treat everyone with dignity. I will not tolerate inappropriate behavior, regardless of the situation. I will not allow the use of anabolic agents or stimulants, drugs, tobacco, or alcohol by any of my players. I will never knowingly jeopardize the eligibility and participation of a student athlete. Youth have a greater need for example than criticism. I will be the primary soccer role model. I will at all times conduct myself in a positive manner. Coaching is motivating players to produce their best effort, inspiring players to learn, and encouraging players to be winners. Coach s actions on sidelines during games shall be in the spirit of "good sportsmanship" at all times. Profanity, profane gestures, arguing, inciting disruptive behavior by spectators and/or players, or any conduct not in the spirit of good sportsmanship, shall require disciplinary action from the affiliate. Alcohol, illegal drugs and unauthorized prescription drugs shall not be possessed, consumed or distributed before, during or after any game or at any other time at the field and/or game complex.

5 Parents/Spectators I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, game officials, and administrators. at all times. I will place the emotional and physical well being of all players ahead of any personal desire to win. I will support the coaches, officials, and administrators working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will remember that the game is for the players, not for the adults. I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, game officials, administrators, and fans with respect.

Within the above framework, there may be disagreement and confusion on behalf of coaches, managers, players and parents. In these cases, players are asked to approach coaches in an attempt to resolve any issues. Although this may be hard for a player, we feel adopting this policy only serves to help individuals mature. The situation, of course, is different for the younger members of the club. In situations where the player is too young to deal with an issue, and it is necessary for a parent to get involved we ask that parents follow these guidelines. If a parent has questions for a coach, please: Call them or make an appointment to meet. Please remember that most coaches work for EFC on a part-time basis, and therefore, spend most of their time on their individual careers. However, they do realize that part of their job with EFC is to communicate effectively with parents if situations arise, and they are prepared to do this. If you have a question regarding something that has happened during a game, parents are not allowed to approach the coach until 24 hours after the game. If you have something to say to the coach, please make sure that your comments get to the coach. Do not voice your opinions on the sidelines. The club will not tolerate constant complaining and degrading on the sideline. Any parent who is persistent in these actions will be asked to leave the club. If, after meeting with a coach, an issue is not resolved, you may contact the EFC executive director via at d102928@aol.com Every effort will be made to reply to you in a timely manner.
