ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

At Relentless Soccer Club, we strive to create a positive, respectful, and safe environment for all players, coaches, referees, and families. To achieve this, we enforce a Zero Tolerance Policy governing parent/spectator sideline behavior and player conduct. All offenses will be tracked and accumulate over time throughout the season.

​

 

1. Parent and Spectator Behavior

​

Expectations:

  • Encourage players with positive support only.
     

  • Do not coach from the sidelines.
     

  • Show respect to referees, coaches, players, and opposing spectators.
     

  • Absolutely no abusive language, negative comments, or aggressive behavior.
     

  • Follow all club and facility guidelines at all times.
     

Monitoring:
Coaches, referees, and club officials will monitor behavior and report any violations to the club’s disciplinary committee.

​

Consequences (accumulative):

  • First Offense: Verbal warning (documented).
     

  • Second Offense: Written warning and possible removal from the field for the remainder of the event.
     

  • Third Offense: Mandatory meeting with club leadership and suspension from attending the next game.
     

  • Fourth Offense: Suspension from attending any club events for a set period determined by the club board.
     

  • Severe Cases (threatening behavior, violence, etc.): Immediate removal and potential permanent ban from all club activities.
     

 

2. Player On-Field Behavior

​

Expectations:

  • Display sportsmanship at all times.
     

  • Respect referees, teammates, coaches, and opponents.
     

  • Avoid foul language, violent conduct, or dissent toward officials.
     

  • Represent the club positively both on and off the field.
     

Monitoring:
Coaches and referees will document all incidents. Reports will be reviewed by the disciplinary committee.

​

Consequences (accumulative):

  • First Offense: Verbal warning and review with the coach.
     

  • Second Offense: Written warning, plus possible additional conditioning or reflective assignment.
     

  • Third Offense: One-game suspension.
     

  • Fourth Offense: Multi-game suspension, mandatory meeting with player and parents.
     

  • Severe Cases (fighting, referee abuse, etc.): Immediate ejection and review for potential removal from the club.
     

 

3. Reporting and Review Process

​

  • All incidents will be documented by coaches or referees and reviewed by the disciplinary committee.
     

  • Offenses do not reset with each game; they accumulate throughout the entire season and may impact participation in future club activities.
     

 

4. Commitment to Positive Culture

​

By participating in Relentless Soccer Club, all players, parents, and spectators agree to abide by this policy. Our collective goal is to promote respect, sportsmanship, and a safe environment where players can grow and enjoy the game.
