As a Georgia State Soccer Association (GSSA) parent, I will:

• Ensure that my child is as mentally and physically prepared for games and practices as possible.
• Support the coach, manager, and GSSA in their decisions.
• Inform the coach/manager if my child will miss a practice or a game.
• Talk with the coach if I have concerns regarding my child and his/her participation on the team.
• Uphold the purpose of the GSSA which is to teach, develop and promote the game of soccer with a strong emphasis on the equal opportunity for each player to play and learn.
• Support my child through positive reinforcement ONLY and to refrain from negative comments completely.
• Respect the coach in his/her role to direct the team, and not coach my child from the sideline.
• Refrain from inappropriate or insulting language and discourage its use by team members and spectators.
• Refrain from raising my voice or making comments or gestures, which express disagreement with the referee.
• Referees are a symbol of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship. It is the responsibility of GSSA to maintain a Referee staff with good training and personal integrity.
• Remember that I, too, represent GSSA each time my child is dressed in a GSSA uniform.
• I also understand and accept all of the specific conduct codes specified and agreed upon my child.
