The DSYSA Soccer Club’s Code of Conduct for parents, players, and coaches is stated below.  The Code of Conduct was approved during the November 2007 Soccer Board meeting.  Our Code of Conduct is applicable and in effect anytime you are participating in, attending, or representing DSYSA at any activity or event regardless of whether you are at our soccer fields or another club’s soccer fields.  The Code of Conduct applies to regular season games, scrimmages, tournaments, friendlies, practices, etc.  Our Code of Conduct also applies to visiting teams, coaches, parents, and spectators.

Dripping Springs Youth Sports Association (DSYSA) Soccer Club adopted this Code of Conduct to ensure that all DSYSA Soccer Club parents, coaches, players, visitors, and spectators understand our expectations for appropriate behavior and good sportsmanship at all DSYSA Soccer Club events and activities.  The following outlines unacceptable behavior from parents, players, and coaches that reflects negatively on the DSYSA Soccer Club and may subject you to disciplinary action for violations.
