- You are an assistant to the game in teaching the players and an assistant to the players in their understanding of the game.
- Prepare your practice sessions to meet the realistic challenges of the game; Give your players the chance to make decisions.
- Players play for enjoyment; Winning is only part of the game. Never ridicule or yell at the players for making a mistake or losing a competition.
- Be organized at all times and ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of the players.
- Although soccer is regarded as a players game, it is also to be enjoyed by non-players, i.e., Coaches, Referees, and Spectators; Show your enthusiasm to the players.
- Teach your players the rules of the game.
- Recognize the importance of your behavior at games; Harsh criticism of the referee sets a poor example for players and spectators (parents).
- Be sporting to your opponents and referee, both in victory and defeat.
- Allow your own personality to be reflected at practice and at games; Do not try to copy anyone else.
