Role of the Spectator

The philosophy of the Franklin Township Soccer Club is that children's sports are about participation, sportsmanship, character development, and other healthy habits that last a lifetime. Children play organized sports for their own fun. They are not there to entertain adults, and they are not miniature pro athletes. We'll all enjoy the game more if we just let them play.Be on your best behavior and set a proper example.Coaches need to be in charge of and are responsible for the conduct of their players on the field and their spectators on the sidelines.It is the coaches' responsibility to discuss any issues with the referee or opposing coach, never the parents', spectators' or players'.Spectators should not be coaching from the sidelines. Coaching is not your job: it confuses the players, and makes them tense.Know the difference between positive cheering and negative berating.Spectators are to stay behind the orange line on the sidelines. Spectators and coaches are also not allowed behind the goal lines.Referees, especially young ones, are doing a difficult job. We recognize errors in judgment may occur. However, they still deserve total support. Respect their decision.Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a game.Show respect for your team's opponents. Without them, there would be no games.Coaches should make a concerted effort not to allow their team to run up a score. Winning a game by five goals or more is demoralizing to the opposing team. Parents and spectators should support the club's philosophy in striving for balanced and competitive games.Family and friends are welcome as spectators, but family pets are not. They can't appreciate the game. Please be kind to them and leave your pets at home.Set a good example for yourself, by showing good sportsmanship, and cheering positively.
