Please Be On Time

Please do your best to be on time for practices and games. If you arrive on time for practice and the coach is running late, help get the kids started with warm ups and playing with the ball.  This sets a great example for the kids about starting and being on time as well as will keep things moving and the kids will not get bored. If your going to be late or miss a practice or game, let your coach know, so they can make adjustments as needed.

No Jewelry

No jewelry of any kind may be worn during practice or games. If your child wants to get their ears pierced, wait until the season is over, as they will be required to remove all jewelry prior to practice or a game. Taping over the jewelry is no longer allowed. This is to protect your child as well as others on the field.

Zero Tolerance - Abuse of Referees

North Side Soccer has a strict, no abuse policy with regard to referees. Bad calls are a part of the game, but these were nothing compared to the embarrassing spectacles that occur when well meaning parents forget this is a recreational league. Most of our referees will also be kids. I'm sure no parent would want their youngster verbally attacked. Please keep that in mind when the ref misses one.

Volunteer Duty

Every parent is responsible to volunteer in some way to help keep our league alive.  Consider helping out on game days with field setup or volunteer for a shift at the concession stand.  We also need spanish and ASL interpreters, game day hosts and people to help with the picnic committee or being a face painter.  We are always looking for coaches and board members, so please contact us if you can help in any way.  If you have a special talent that you think might benefit the league please let us know.

Lightening and Field Closure

In the event of bad weather, please contact your coach for information on field conditions and field closures. In most cases, the fields will remain open during light rain. Tornado warnings or lightening will close the fields. If lightening is seen at any time, the fields will be closed. This means everyone must leave the fields. You will not be allowed to gather around the fieldhouse. You must leave the fields.
