Respect in Sport – Parent Program

The Respect in Sport Parent Program is a one-hour online module for parents/guardians that reinforces their role in their child’s activities, encourages positive sports behaviours, and provides insight into other individuals’ roles, such as coaches and officials. This program empowers parents to ensure the safety of their children, encourage positive and effective communication, and enhance a child’s overall enjoyment of soccer. The online course costs $12 and is transferable to other sports involved in Respect in Sport.

Registration is available here via Alberta Soccer.

Respect your Referees

Game officials (i.e. referees) are critical to soccer, and without them, there would be no game. Please treat them with respect and recognize that they, too, are learning and improving with experience. Anyone found guilty of harassing game officials will be disciplined and may be barred from games.

Referee Liaison Program

Every team is required to provide a referee liaison for every league game. This liaison can be a different person each game and can be anyone, with the exception of the coach or assistant coach. The name of the referee liaison must be marked in the area provided on the game sheet.
