At Santa Clarita Youth Soccer league, we believe our youth should receive a fair, optimal soccer experience. Our league is geared towards children having fun, developing soccer skills, and balanced teams. No matter what level of skill your child is at, there is a place for your child to play at SCYSL. We have a rating system installed at each initial evaluation where we color code each entering player. Children will be rated from beginner (green), intermediate (blue), advanced (red), or somewhere in between depending on the players entering skill level. This will be our guide when developing balanced teams. Volunteer coaches can receive help on how to coach their teams, or coaches can use their own programs and train their teams their own way. Our sign up process is fast and easy. Volunteer coaches can receive a 50% off credit towards one players tuition per season. One credit per coach.
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
Purpose
Santa Clarita Youth Soccer League has adopted a zero tolerance policy in order to prevent physical assault, and verbal abuse during events. Each coach, parent, player, and spectator will abide by their code of conduct.
Teasing, taunting, disrespect towards anyone, foul language, bullying of any kind (cyber, physical, or verbal) will not be tolerated in this league. No one may disrespect any referee for any call. No parent may challenge any call made by a referee. A referee will give one warning (yellow card) then, any spectator out of control can be red carded and asked to leave by the referee, coach or commissioner. No fighting will be tolerated whatsoever. Local authorities will be contacted in the event of an un necessary physical altercation. No child abuse will be tolerated (emotional, physical, cyber, neglect) by any parent, coach, player, or spectator at any game, practice or league event.
COACHES CODE OF CONDUCT
Respect: A coach is one who leads by example, showing respect to others, oneself, and the organization they represent. A coach respects the boundaries that the player and a coach must have, and understands the zero tolerance policy the league has in place protecting any child from bullying and child abuse of any kind (emotional, physical, cyber, neglect). A coach respects referees, parents, opponents and officials. A coach respects all individuals and treats everyone equally regardless of their: age, sex, religion, race, language, socioeconomic status, ethnic origin, or disabilities. A coach respects the privacy of an athlete and their family. A coach respects promises and keeps to them.
Fairness: A coach is fair, they show no favoritism or any special treatment to any one athlete for any reason. A coach gives all players the same opportunities during training.
Integrity: A coach always shows integrity. A coach should keep a high moral standard an always act as a role model for their athletes. All coaches must pass a background check to coach.
PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
Demonstrate a positive attitude: Parents please remember this league is for the children and we want to create a positive atmosphere where we all trust, respect, collaborate, and remain kind to eachother.
Maintaining healthy relationships: This is not only for the parents but for the players and coaches as well. Each season we will be trading players and everyone will be on different teams, as no one team will remain the same. Its positive to maintain a healthy relationship with your opponent and opposing parent because you might end up on the same team next season.
Spectate, cheer, and enjoy yourself: So many times parents get so caught up in the game they end up forgetting to let the coach do their job. Only coaches may coach. Please remember parents must cheer on their child and not coach. This will confuse the child on who to listen to. Your child needs your support on game day as a parent and not a coach.
Respect: Please respect your children's opponents, coaches, referees and league officials. No harrassment, bullying, or negativity towards any player/person will be tolerated. Parents can be red carded by any referee and asked to leave if found being disrespectful.
PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT
Respect: All players will have respect for all coaches, team mates, opponents, parents, referees and league officials. no swearing, bullying, harassing, disrespect, teasing, cyber bullying or fighting will be tolerated at any time. All players will have respect for the game, its laws, and play the game fairly. Players will respect the team and play for the good of the team and play their best at all times.
Sportmanship: All players will maintain good sportsmanship before, during, and after games, other teams are opponents not enemies. All players will conduct themselves with honor and dignity. Players must be gracious in a loss, and modest in a win. Players may not argue with any referee over any call, only team captains may address a referee respectfully.
HAVE FUN: Remember that winning isn't everything and to just have fun competing, players should only play for themselves and not for their parents sake. no child will be forced to play.
PLAYER RATING SYSTEM
Our leagues rating system for our new athletes entering the league will be determined on your initial evaluation day. Once you have been evaluated your child’s rating (advanced, intermediate, beginner) will be archived and updated as they continue to play here. Coaches will have a spectrum of talent on each team, and different players each season. Teams will have a limit on the number of players per team, and all teams will have the talent divided evenly.
Evaluations are for new players only, returning players are evaluated by the coach and the director through out the duration of the season. This rating system will help ensure all teams are balanced each season.
Our goal with our rating system is to ensure that the teams are as balanced as possible, and each child is surrounded by players of all skill levels.
