Prior to any player participating in Ela Soccer Club, parents are required to read and sign the Parent – Ela Soccer Club Agreement and the Player – Ela Soccer Club Agreement. This agreement sets out expectations relative to behaviour, sportsmanship and conduct as a member of the Ela Soccer Club organization.
- Honor all commitments required by Ela Soccer Club.
- Remain with Ela Soccer Club and not transfer to another club during the year unless extenuating circumstances exist (ex: relocation out of the Chicagoland area)
- Notify the Director if a member of another club’s coaching staff or other club representative approaches them for purposes of recruitment.
- Not attend any other coaching training session or play for any other soccer organization without written permission or approval from the Director of Soccer.
- Attend all Ela Soccer Club training and games as required. It is my understanding that players not attending or providing sufficient cause and notice for their absence may forfeit their place within Ela Soccer Club.
- Represent Ela Soccer with values and principles of the highest standard both on and off the field.
- Maintain and wear all training and game apparel. I do understand that I am required to wear official Ela Soccer apparel at all sessions.
- Refrain from using foul language, alcohol, drugs, or nicotine or anything in that sense that degrades my condition as an athlete.
- Treat all teammates, opponents, parents, officials, and coaches with courtesy, respect, and good sportsmanship
- Address any problem with a teammate, coach, or club official by communicating directly to that individual. Be aware that players U13 and above, not parents, are responsible for that.
- Guide their behavior by common sense principles and ethics which make all of us proud of being athletes.
