DWSL.ORG - Conduct

1.) Desert Winds Soccer League is a recreational league. Play for the fun of it and follow the
rules.

2.) Remember that all coaches and officials are volunteering their time for the children of the
community. Give them due respect. Offer to help out where you can.

3.) Consider the health and safety of all players.

4.) Cooperate with coaches, other players and referees. Treat them as you would like to be
treated.

5.) Support and encourage all players, regardless of their skill level.

6.) Do not argue or complain about the referees' decisions. We hire outside, professional
referees. They are VERY AWARE of ALL of the rules of the game. If there is a discrepancy over
a call, the coach will handle it in an appropriate manner. If anyone hassles the referees, they
will be asked to leave the field. This can result in a game forfeit by your team.

7.) The league WILL NOT tolerate profanity by any coach, player or parent. Use of profanity
anywhere near the soccer fields can result in a game forfeit by your team.

8.) Ignore mistakes. Everyone makes them. The league will not tolerate ridiculing or
demeaning behavior toward players who make mistakes on the soccer field.

9.) Everyone should be working toward the goal of skill improvement and good
sportsmanship. Encourage everyone to play by the rules.

10.) Set a good example. Applaud good plays by both teams on the field.

11.) The head coach, assistant coach and team mom are responsible for reminding the players
and parents of proper conduct.
