Inter Connecticut, along with all of Connecticut Junior Soccer Association's ( CJSA's ) members were told of their new referee mandate this week. This includes the zero tolerance towards abuse of referees. 

Below is the portion that pertains to spectators. 

Please also remember the player and parent code of conduct that you signed upon registering for the 2024/25 season.

See below:

Parent Code of Conduct

It is the responsibility of each parent to pledge to abide by this Code of Conduct:

2. My child will come to all practices, training sessions and games prepared to play, ready to listen and equipped with appropriate uniform (for practices and games). 

3. My child will make every effort to attend all practices and games and to focus on becoming a better player. 

4. I will be a role model for the players by: (1) demonstrating good sportsmanship regardless of the score, (2) acting in an ethical and respectful manner towards all players, officials, parents and coaches, and (3) setting a good example for the players. 

5. I will remember that children play for fun and enjoyment and will always place the emotional and physical well-being of players ahead of any personal desire to win. I will be a source of encouragement to all players and never ridicule or yell at children.

9. Neither I nor my child will use drugs, tobacco or alcohol at any practices or games. 

10. I and my child understand that failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct will subject me and possibly my child to club disciplinary action, which may include suspension or expulsion.
