DASC Parent or Guardian Code of Conduct
The Dillsburg Area Soccer Club is a non-profit community soccer organization. We are committed to
fostering a passion for the game by providing a safe, fun environment where our players can learn the
value of teamwork, achieve individual success, and develop a strong ethic of good sportsmanship.
As the parent or guardian of a DASC soccer player, I pledge to adhere to the following:
1) I will not force my child unwillingly to participate.
2) I will acclimate myself to the rules of the game.
3) I will teach as well as demonstrate good sportsmanship.
4) I will treat all coaches, players, parents, referees, and spectators with dignity and respect and will avoid, at
all costs, any verbal or physical abuse of these people during games and/or practices.
5) I will be supportive, and I will cheer positively for my child and his/her team.
6) I will publicly support all coaches' decisions regarding my child and his/her teammates during a game or
practice. Any concerns I have will be addressed with the coach only. I will let the coach, coach.
7) I will stress to my child that winning is only important if you can accept losing, as both are an important part
of the game.
8) I recognize winning is not everything; that the pleasure of athletic participation and development of ALL
players on the team are of equal importance.
9) I will refrain from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines of a practice, scrimmage, or game. I will direct
any concerns that may arise with the coach privately afterward.
10) I will have my child to all scrimmages, practices, and/or games on time. I will let the coach know in
advance if my child cannot make a practice, scrimmage, or game.
11) I will remember that the game is for the players, not the adults.
12) I will abide by the by-laws, standing rules, and regulations of DASC and CPYSL.
