What is the League’s philosophy?

The Southfield Youth Soccer League basic purpose is to provide a safe, organized, high-quality environment for learning and playing the game of soccer.  The League’s purpose is guided by the following philosophy:

The Southfield Youth Soccer League will promote soccer instruction and competitive play as a means to encourage individual physical and mental development in a team environment.  The importance of winning and personal achievement is recognized, but these are to be attained in association with and not at the expense of sportsmanship and reasonable participation for every player.

Our Code of Conduct is:

Respect your teammates – they’ll play their best when encouraged, not criticized.

Respect the coaches – they volunteer their time and energy and in return expect full cooperation.

Respect the referees – they do their best to run the games fairly and should never be verbally harassed.

Respect your opponents – they play for the same reasons we do, and should be applauded, not taunted.

Respect the game – it yields the greatest benefit when taken seriously.
