CE Way
The Player
1) I will give my best for my team. I will work hard to get better in training sessions and games so I can help my teammates get better. Outside of training sessions and games, I will grow in my soccer skills and soccer knowledge so I can be better for my team.
2) I will respect all who are part of my soccer team. I will respect my coach by listening and responding to coaching. I will respect my coach and teammates and parents with my words and actions at all soccer activities. I will not do or say things that make fun of or puts down others.
3) I will respect all who are part of the game, and the game itself. I will be a good sport with my opponent. I will play hard but will not cheat. I will not say things to put down or anger my opponent. If my opponent does or says something that angers me, I will not get into a confrontation with my words or actions, but I will walk away and play harder. I will not argue with the referee or show my disagreement with the referee by words or actions. After the game I will congratulate my opponents with an appropriate greeting.
4) I will act humbly. I will not do or say things to try to draw attention to myself. If I score a goal, or make a big play, I will not celebrate in a way that communicates how great I think I am or draws attention to myself. If someone assists me on a goal, I will go to that person and say, “Thank you!”
5) I will be thankful. I will say “Thank you!” often to my parents for making it possible for me to play on this team, and for being there for me. I will thank my coach often for helping me grow as a player. I will thank the referees at every game for being there for us.
6) I will be a responsible team member. I will be ready to go on time to training sessions and games, with all of the equipment I need, and wearing the uniform or training gear I should be wearing.
7) I will be the kind of teammate my teammates will be glad to have on their team by how I treat them, and by how I speak to them and about them.
8) I will be a great teammate by playing whatever position my coach tells me to play, and I will give my best as I play that position.
