Player Expectations
As long as I am a Tulsa Soccer Club player,
I will:
- Play for the good of the game
- Promise to attend training sessions and games. I understand my attendance at training (AND TRAINING ON MY OWN) is what helps me improve my soccer skills and my understanding of the game. I understand the amount of playing time I receive in games will be based on my game performance, determination in practice, punctuality, and attitude. I know that I may receive more or less playing time than my team members and playing time is not guaranteed.
- WATCH THE GAME! Be a student of the game by finding soccer on TV and watching games. Players can learn so much by watching games! Besides soccer on TV you should watch your fellow Tulsa Soccer Club teams anytime you can.
- Have a positive and never quit attitude. Exemplify and demonstrate sportsmanship at all times
- Support your club and teammates at all times
- Fulfill my financial commitments to the team/club

It is the firm commitment of Tulsa SC to take an active role in the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse. Our policy is no drugs, no alcohol, and no destructive behavior. We will involve ourselves with the player and parents any time that a situation has an impact on our Club or its members. However, the parent has the ultimate responsibility for their son or daughter. Violation of this policy may be the basis for suspension or dismissal from the team, or for requiring that a player return home early from an out-of-town tournament at the parent’s expense.
All players are expected to know these expectations and therefore there is no excuse for not understanding and abiding by them at all times.
