Behavior Policy
At Active Soccer we believe that the most important aspects of the experience is that the child has fun, makes new friends and learns a new skill that can be used in life. We address the issues of behavior with the participants at the beginning of each course and during structured break times where with our partners in KICK IT OUT, ANTI BULLYING and CHILDLINE we make children aware of important issues and respect to other people in life. We apply a yellow and red card system during the courses. The yellow card similarly in a match been a caution and the red card resulting in the child no longer been able to take part in the activity.
Important Rules:
- No Swearing
- No Bullying or acts of violence
- No racism
- No Stealing
- No Vandalism
