Codes of Conduct are an essential part of a Quality Soccer Provider.  They outline the agreed standard of behaviour for a club's coaches, referees, parents and players.  This code has been developed in consultation with other leading clubs in Ontario to benchmark best practices in sport.  There are 3 important considerations:

  1. Gain compliance by having members agree to the code of conduct.
  2. Remind members of the code on a regular basis.
  3. KDMSC demonstrates due diligence and actively supports a Code of Conduct.

All incidents or allegations regarding violations of the KDMSC Code of Conduct will be treated with the confidentiality and privacy.  All cases and/or reports of violations will be reviewed by the KDMSC Executive to determine merit, severity and recommended course of action.  Disciplinary action may include any of the following:

  • Education and coaching of the incident
  • Education and coaching with parent present
  • Verbal or written reprimand
  • Verbal or written apology
  • Removal from team(s)
  • Suspension from competition(s)
  • Involvement of authorities (Ontario Provincial Police)
  • Qualifications revoked

The Executive reserves the right to suggest and enforce alternative forms of discipline as required.
