TUZOS CHALLENGE SOCCER TOURNAMENT

CODE OF CONDUCT

Youth Sports play an important role in promoting the physical, social, and emotional development of young people who can recognize choices, think about consequences and base their actions on that information.  Therefore, it is essential for parents, coaches, spectators, and officials to encourage youth athletes to embrace the values of good sportsmanship.  Furthermore, parents, coaches, spectators, and officials involved in youth sports events should be models of good sportsmanship and should lead by example by demonstrating fairness, respect, and self-control.  The Tuzos Challenge Soccer Tournament is committed to establishing an environment that is safe and fosters optimal learning opportunities for all our players.
