Tropical Soccer Club
Player / Parent Agreement
This agreement is an outline of expectations from parents and players as a member of the Tropical Soccer Club (TSC). This
program requires exceptional commitment from both parents and players.
Training - We understand that teams will train at least two times per week and possibly more prior to tournaments. All players
will be required to wear a TSC Orange practice shirt, black shorts, and black socks. Players are expected to be at all training
sessions except for family emergencies, school related academic functions, or religious holidays. Playing time in games is based
on the effort, dedication, attitude and skills shown at training. We understand that many of the tournaments are held on holiday
weekends. Furthermore travel within the state as well as to other states is part of being on a competitive team.
Respect and Conduct – Players and parents agree to always respect and exhibit good sportsmanship toward coaches, fellow
teammates, game officials, and opposing players and parents. Players and parents represent their team, the club, and
themselves and agree to honor that commitment. Poor sportsmanship and behavior detrimental to the club and/or team are
grounds for dismissal from both TSC teams and membership in the club. Players and parents understand that behavior and
conduct during travel and at hotels, banquets, team meals, etc are all considered part of team activity and accept responsibility
for actions during those times. The Tropical Soccer Club has a zero tolerance toward under age alcohol consumption and
illegal use of drugs. Coaches have the right to dismiss players from teams for behavior related to alcohol and drugs.
Coaching - We understand that the coach has the entire team to consider in making decisions and we may not always agree
with those decisions. We understand that it is the player’s responsibility to discuss problems with the coach. Immediately after a
game may not be the best time to talk about sensitive issues. Players should ask to meet with the coach prior to or after the next
training session or some other time when privacy is available. Parents agree to try to let players work out difficulties first with
their coach. If a parent /coach meeting is required, the discussion will center on the player with constructive dialog between
everyone. Parents may request a meeting with the Tropical Soccer Club Director if they feel that it is necessary to
discuss/resolve a situation.
Support - The need to do fundraising is a necessity on every team. We understand that parents and players will be required to
participate in fundraiser(s) throughout the year for our team and possibly the club. We also understand that we may need to
volunteer time to help with any other tournament/event that the club may host.
Parent Code - Parents will exercise good judgment and conduct themselves in an exemplary fashion on all soccer related
occasions. Parents will not harass referees or opposing players and parents. Constant dissent from parents toward referees
does harm to the team and is not in the spirit of the game. Improper behavior will not be tolerated and removal from the match
and from the club may be enforced. Parents will refrain from coaching from sidelines, as many times, it is in direct conflict with
the instructions that players receive from their coach and causes confusion and problems during the game. In general, parental
behavior both on and off the field that is detrimental to team and /or club spirit, or interfere in achieving team and/or club goals
may result in removal of BOTH the player and parent from membership in the club.
Financial Commitment - Although it is our intent to honor the commitment to play with the Tropical Soccer Club for the entire
seasonal year, we understand that by accepting the position offered and completing the registration documents, we are obligated
to pay the full registration fee, should we later decide to leave the Tropical Soccer Club prior to the end of the seasonal year.
Additionally, we understand that we will share in team expenses above and beyond the club registration fees noted above, to
cover entry fees to league play and tournaments that the team decides to participate in, referee fees, and our travel costs
associated with attending these events. The team may seek and receive donations or fundraise to defray these expenses. These
funds remain with the Tropical Soccer Club should the player decide to leave the club. If a player seeks a release before the end
of the May 31, 2012 soccer season a club fee will be charged in the amount of $300.00 to the player before a release will be
given. Parents and players will be held responsible for any and all fees incurred during the season (For example but not limited
to forfeit fees, tournament fees, red card fees, coach fees, etc, etc, …)
General - Parents are asked to give time, money and support to our program. Your comments and suggestions regarding your
team are regarded with great respect and your support is crucial to the team concept. However please understand that the final
decisions regarding what is in the best interest of the entire team ultimately rests with the coach.
"As a member of a club, I realize that my son/daughter is part of more than just a team but a member of an entire club
organization committed to excellence in soccer education; and that membership is a privilege not a right; and as part of that
membership I agree to commit to the club's vision, mission, and goals and will contribute to it's implementation and success".
“We agree with the conditions set forth in this document and pledge our full support in promoting the Tropical Soccer Club, our
team, and the ideals that have been established. Failure to adhere to these conditions set forth can result in the possible
suspension or dismissal from the club.”
