Your commitment will not only enhance the development of the players on your team but also promises a rewarding journey for you, offering a unique chance to impact young lives positively.

Embracing the Principles of Fair Play

At Welland Soccer Club, we stand firm on the foundation of “Fair Play,” which encompasses five basic principles:

  1. Respect the Rules: Understanding and adhering to the game’s rules.
  2. Respect the Officials and Their Decisions: Acknowledging the officials’ roles and accepting their decisions graciously.
  3. Respect the Opponents: Valuing your adversaries and acknowledging their efforts.
  4. Equal Opportunity for Participation: Ensuring all players, regardless of skill level, receive equal time on the field.
  5. Maintain Self-Control: You are a role model; your behavior sets a standard for your team.
