Code Of Conduct

Hartford United Soccer Club

Hartford United SC is interested in maintaining a positive, supportive environment for everyone involved. Good sportsmanship and proper conduct requires the respect of others and control of emotion. The Hartford United SC Parent Code of Conduct Policy outlines expectations/appropriate behavior and consequences when inappropriate behavior arises.

Expectations:

  • Never yell at, verbally abuse, threaten, use profanity, touch or invade the space of a Hartford United SC Coach, Assistant Coach, Manager, Board Member, Player, Parent, Referee, Opponents Coach or Player at anytime. Confrontational behavior is completely unacceptable.
  • Do not coach/interfere with players during a training/practice or during a game/match. Direction/ instruction from a parent is often confusing to the player and/or contradictory of the coach. Coaching from the sideline undermines the coach and is counterproductive to the Hartford United SC player and team development initiatives.
  • Address all team concerns/issues with the Head Coach directly. Any discussion with the coach should be in private. Do not discuss issues/concerns before, during or after a game. HUSC has a 24-hour rule; please wait until a minimum of 24 hours has passed before approaching a coach with all questions and/or concerns.
  • Communicate player absences or tardiness to the Head Coach with reasonable notice.
  • Respond to team communications/information (email, text, phone calls) promptly.
  • Honor your commitment to the team, practices, games, tournaments, events, volunteer hours.
  • Criticism of players, opponents, coaches, referees is unacceptable.
  • Harassing; continuous badgering, questioning, complaining via text, phone calls and/or emails to a Hartford United SC Coach and/or Assistant Coach is completely unacceptable. 

    This list of expectations is not all inclusive and subject to change.

In the event there is an issue and you have not resolved it with the Head Coach or if there is a question/complaint regarding a Hartford United SC coach, or a team related issue, please contact Jim Schrot (Director of Coaching) at: doc.husc@gmail.com / 920-517-4411.

Consequences:

Poor conduct and disrespectful behavior embarrass your child, other parents and will not be tolerated. Hartford United SC reserves the right to suspend spectator privileges and possible player/entire family expulsion/ban from any team and/or the club when the Parent Code of Conduct Policy is violated. You may appeal in writing to the Hartford United SC Executive Board of Directors.
