Code of Conduct

Cardinal United Soccer – Code of Conduct

To help create a positive and respectful environment for all players, families, and officials, please follow these guidelines:

• Refrain from negative comments or shouting at referees, players, or coaches. Allow officials to do their jobs and model respect at all times.

• No alcohol, tobacco, or vaping/smoking products are permitted on or near the soccer fields.

• Allow the team coaching staff to provide all instruction during games and practices. Avoid giving your player conflicting or distracting guidance from the sideline.

• Stay off the field unless specifically invited by a referee or a member of the coaching staff.

• No loud or disruptive noise-making devices (e.g., airhorns, whistles, sirens, megaphones, portable speakers).

• Remain in designated spectator areas. Avoid walking the sidelines or approaching the bench during games or practices unless invited.

• Encourage all players — not just your own. Applaud good effort and sportsmanship on both teams.

• Ensure your player arrives prepared with water, gear, and a positive attitude. Let the coaching staff know in advance if they’ll miss practice.

• Arrive on time at the time set by the team coaching staff to allow for proper warm-up. If attendance will be delayed or missed, notify the coaching staff through the MOJO app as early as possible.

• Direct any concerns to the team coaching staff respectfully and privately. Never address players, referees, or other parents about game-related issues.

• Always show respect for the game, the team, opponents, and referees.

• Represent Cardinal United with pride and integrity at all times.
