Disciplinary Procedures
The Club takes its Code of Conduct (see Appendix 1 in the Valencia Parent Player Manual_JUN24) seriously.
The Incident Book is on field at all times, to record any player misbehaviour or accidents. Incidents will be followed up with the player and parent. The steps will be followed as stated in the Code of Conduct (Appendix 1 in the Valencia Parent Player Manual_JUN24) . However, if behavior is of a serious nature and continues after being reprimanded more than three times, then the Club will ask the player to leave the club. If you wish to report an incident after a training session, you should contact your Group Coach Director or report to the Club Administrator.
Parent Volunteers
The success of our program is dependent upon volunteerism. Below are descriptions of various roles that we are seeking volunteers. This year we are not offering a waiver fee to not volunteer. To make this club work successfully with its 250 players, we need a lot of help. If you are willing to assist please speak with a member of The Club’s Administration Team or email abcfootballschool@gmail.com.
Team Manager and Assistant Team Manager for each squad
The Team Manager serves as a liaison between his/her squad’s parents and The Club. Team Managers are also liaison between his/her coach and squad. The scope of the Team Manager role includes the following:
- Set-up and maintenance of team email group and cell phone group chat including coach.
