 St. Vrain FC Sportsmanship Codes of Conduct

The purpose of team sports is to work with teammates toward a common goal, exercise, improve skills, and to create moments of perfection and beauty.  The best soccer games are between evenly matched teams who play vigorously for the entire match to a close finish decided at the very end of the game.  During games like this, each player will hopefully have plays where he/she will feel that his/her play was at least briefly perfect, or at least a personal best.  At the end of the game, both of the teams should feel that they gave their best effort and should respect the opposing team for their effort and skill.  While it may be somewhat better to be on the winning side of this match, it is far better to lose this ideal game than to win a lopsided or ugly contest.  To these ends, the St. Vrain Football Club requires its members to adhere to the following rules of conduct at all Club events:
