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.
