First to the ball... last to give up!

"I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been
trusted to take the game-winning shot...and missed. I've failed over and over and over again
in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Michael Jordan
Professional Basketball Player

We recommend you go over the codes of conduct with your parents. You should print them out and carry a copy in your field bag, just as a reminder of what's expected of you.

Player's Code of Conduct:

All LSA Codes of Conduct are based on the simple concept of fair play, defined by four basic principles:

  1. Respect for the rules.
  2. Respect for the referees and their decisions.
  3. Respect for all participants, including teammates, opponents, coaches and spectators.
  4. Maintaining self-control at all times.
It is a condition of continuing Club membership that you follow the Code at all times!
  • I will play soccer because I want to, not because others want me to.
  • I will play by the rules of soccer, and in the spirit of the game.
  • I will control my temper. I will not fight, "mouth off" or use bad language.
  • I will respect my opponents.
  • I will be a team player.
  • I will remember that winning isn't everything - that having fun, playing fair, improving my skills, making friends and doing my best are the most important.
  • I will acknowledge all good play - those of my teammates and of my opponents.
  • I will accept the decisions of coaches and referees and show them respect. 

Games and Practices

  • I agree that practices and games are equally important.
  • I will arrive at least 10 minutes before practices, and 15 minutes before games.
  • If I cannot make a game or practice, I will notify the coach at least 24 hours in advance so that arrangements for substitutes can be made. 

My Uniform

  • I will take good care of it and wear it only on game days.
  • I will ensure it is clean for every game.
  • At practices I will wear a comfortable shirt and shorts.
  • I will wear shin guards and appropriate footwear at all games and practices.
  • I will remove any jewelry, watches or any item that may cause injury to me, teammates, or opposing players prior to participating in games or practices.

Discipline

  • At all times I will show respect for coaches, referees, teammates, and opposing players.
  • Infractions that occur during the game are governed by the Laws of the Game and will be decided by the Referee.
  • Certain serious infractions (e.g. Referee Assault) will result in a Discipline Hearing, possible suspension from soccer and a fine being levied by the Capitol Area youth Soccer Association (CAYSA). Paying any such fine is my responsibility.
  • The team's coach will handle infractions that occur at times other than during a game. 

Resolving Problems

When you have a problem with someone, talk to the person privately. If you are upset, we recommend you wait 24 hours and then determine if you want to pursue the issue. If you feel you need further guidance on an issue, please contact the club manager.
