PARENT/TRAINING ONLY PLAYER AGREEMENT

PARENT/PLAYER AGREEMENT

Training Only Players

 

CLUB MISSION STATEMENT: Único FC provides opportunities for youth soccer players to experience a healthy, safe, and developmentally appropriate environment to learn, love and live the game of soccer.​ 

 

THE PLAYER  

 

Unico Futbol Club encourages potential players and their parents to consider all of their club options and choose what best suits the individual, taking into consideration each person’s goals and aspirations as a soccer player. Once a commitment to join as a training player, the player and their parents agree to abide by the policies of the Club and the team.

 

Players agree to:

• Show respect for teammates, opponents, officials and coaches.  

• Exhibit fair play, sportsmanship, and proper conduct on and off of the playing field.  

• Refrain from the use of profanity, vulgarity, and other offensive language and gestures. 

• Adhere to the established rules and standards of the game and of the Club.     

 

THE PARENT   

 

Parental support and involvement in the Club are essential. If your son or daughter has made the commitment to train with Unico FC, the parent must assure that the player attends all possible team training and follows all established rules and guidelines.    

 

Parents agree to:   

• Ensure that their player is able to attend practices.

• Show respect to all players on the team, referees, all players of the opposing team and their fans.

• Not coach their children or any other members of the team, during practices or scrimmages.Avoid ‘coaching’ from the sideline while watching your child’s game, as this interferes with a player's performance on the field and conflicts with what the coach is trying to do.

• Make no comments to officials before, during or after games.

• Not make critical remarks to others about players, coaches or coach’s decisions.

• Save issues with the coach (or member of management) for the next day.24 hours cooling period.It’s important to take some time to think about it, rather than confronting the coach or management in front of your child, team or other parents.

 

COMMUNICATION  

 

Clear communication between the player and the coach is essential.  We recognize that issues/conflicts are a byproduct of participation in youth sports and understand that there may be times where issues may arise.  

 

Outlined in the attached document are the steps that Parents, Players and Coaches must use to deal with any conflicts that arise. It is imperative that all steps are followed in the proper order.  If in the future you experience an issue, please refer to the Unico FC – Conflict Resolution Chart (or ask your Team Manager to provide you the chart).

 

 

DISCIPLINE   

 

In the event that disciplinary actions are necessary, the following steps will be taken:  

• The team coach, manager, and/or Coaching Director will discuss the issue directly with the player or with the parent if they are the problem.

• In the case of a player, if the problem is not resolved, the team coach, manager, and/ or Coaching Director will discuss the issue with the player’s parents.

• If the problem persists with the player or parent, the Coaching Director and team coach in conjunction with the Select Board, may temporarily suspend the player or parent from training and games. If the situation warrants, the Coaching Director may recommend to the Unico FC Board that the player be removed from the Club.

• The parents of any player recommended for suspension or removal may request to meet with the executive committee of the Unico Board along with the Coaching Director and the team coach.
