It is the policy of PYSA to provide a safe, fair, and fun environment for all players, coaches, referees, and staff of our program. PYSA expects positive, supportive, and instructive behavior. It is the responsibility of ALL adults participating in our program to recognize that PYSA relies on the dedication and commitment of our referees, staff, coaches, volunteers and parents. As such, PYSA has adopted these guidelines to protect players and adult
participants from abuse or misconduct of any kind.
 

Parents should:
● Provide a positive and encouraging atmosphere for players to learn and grow through soccer.
● Treat players, coaches, spectators, and referees with respect.
● Support coaches and understand that they contribute significant time and energy to our youth players. Coaches deserve congratulations and encouragement regardless of the results on the field.
● Communicate issues with the coach at the appropriate time and away from players. If the issue is causing frustration, it is recommended that a 24 hour “cool off” period be followed. This will allow calmer heads to prevail and resolve the issue based on what is best for the team and players.
● Enjoy watching the games from designated spectator sidelines.
● Never use foul language or obscene gestures.
● Cooperate with any request by referees and PYSA Officials.
If a parent has an issue or complaint at a PYSA field, they should find a director or board member. If a director or Board member is not available please contact PYSA at pendletonfc@gmail.com. If a parent has an issue or complaint at a non-PYSA field, discuss with the coaches after the game, away from the players.

Any breach of this Code of Conduct during a game or practice as determined by a PYSA representative will result in the following:
● Immediate dismissal from the playing area.
● Additional game or season suspension as determined by PYSA Representative.
This is a zero tolerance policy. Parents are responsible for their guests’ behavior and must inform their guests of the appropriate conduct. PYSA is firmly committed to protecting our players and adult participants from disrespectful and abusive behavior. PYSA asks parents to assist us in our efforts to provide a safe, fair, and fun environment by following the Code of Conduct.
