SAC HC takes great pride in its players, teams and coaches.
It also places a high degree of emphasis on good sportsmanship, which is a key element in any successful athletic program. Sportsmanship is often discussed only in relationship to the players.

However, SAC HC parents are expected to adhere to a sportsmanship standard.

Specifically, we expect all parents to:

• Maintain a positive sideline demeanor by not berating coaches, referees, or other players.
• Cheer positively. Your child’s teammates and opponents are young amateurs, not professionals. Cheer for good play and fair play on the part of all players.
• Let the coach coach, no matter how much you may disagree with him or her.
• Act like an adult. Be positive, encourage all of the players, respect others, and be a spectator.

The game of soccer is for the players. SAC HC expects that the players in our program will always exhibit good sportsmanship and a sense of fair play. Players must understand that, when they are on the field, they are representatives of SAC HC, as well as their team, coach, parents and community. They should, therefore, act accordingly.

All SAC HC players should adhere to the following code of conduct:

• Treat all coaches, opponents, teammates, parents, and officials with respect.
• Display self-control in all situations.
• Avoid use of foul or abusive language.
• Always play within the laws of the game. (Fair Play)
• Shake hands with opponents at the conclusion of every match and refrain from such acts that would be considered disrespectful of an opponent.

Registering implies acceptance and compliance to the SAC HC Sportsmanship/Code of Conduct for both parents and players.
