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.
