A Sportsmanship
Program adopted by the |
Wharton Soccer Club has adopted the S.A.G.E. program commencing with the Fall 2005 season.
To remind us that the game is for the kids, that respect for others is a lesson we can help teach, and that setting a good example is more important than winning.
The S.A.G.E. 4-point program:
| 1) | Parents, Coaches, and Players sign Sportsmanship Pledge forms spelling out appropriate conduct and the reasons why good sportsmanship is so important. Parents and Player(s) from one family can all sign the same form. |
| 2) | Coaches must attend their mandatory preseason meeting that is used in part to reinforce SAGE. |
| 3) |
The Club will take action on poor sportsmanship. The signing by the Governor of the Athletic Code of Conduct Bill specifically allows the Club to ban offenders from future athletic contests until they successfully complete anger management training. Further, if the incident includes criminal behavior, the penalties can include time in jail and significant fines. |
| 4) | Coaches are to continually promote good sportsmanship Before, During, and After the game. |
KEEP THE FUN IN THE GAME
