Park Ridge Soccer Club

Code of Conduct—Player Pledge

Park Ridge Soccer Club believes that players who have the privilege of membership in our club and on our teams should conduct themselves as responsible representatives of the Club. Failure by a family member or player to exhibit good sportsmanship can result in exclusion from Park Ridge Soccer Club.

I PLEDGE TO conduct myself with the integrity and the maturity that comes from being a member of a PRSC Team. This includes my behavior before, during and after a game on both my home field and during my away games.

I PLEDGE TO be a safe and responsible player.  I will control myself and my temper, and I will use only appropriate language while playing soccer.  This includes good sportsmanship even when I disagree with my teammates, the coaches, officials and opposing team.

I PLEDGE TO be responsible for the equipment and fields.  I will be safe with the goals and nets, and help to keep our fields clean.  This includes picking up my own soccer equipment and disposing of my own garbage and recycling items.  I will be a steward of the fields on which I am playing.

I WILL SHOW RESPECT TO THE COACHES AND REPRESENTATIVES OF PRSC. I realize that they have a difficult job and that their actions reflect their attempts to do what is in the best interests of the individual players, the teams and the Club.  Regardless of how I feel about any coaching decision, including those related to playing positions, playing time, or other matters, under no circumstances will I mistreat or confront a coach or representative of the Club in a verbally or physically inappropriate matter.

Our success cannot be achieved unless everyone works together. The goals of PRSC are to offer players direction in discipline, leadership, teamwork, and acceptance of rules and responsibility.

I will honor the PRSC Code of Conduct and Player Pledge in my words and actions.
