If you identify a violation or inappropriate behavior (whether from a parent, spectator, player, or coach), the following steps should be followed:

Immediate Response:

Coaches or Club Officials: If the violation is occurring during a game or training session, the coach or any club official should address the behavior immediately by either:
Politely asking the individual to stop.
Asking the individual to leave the premises if the behavior persists.

Reporting Violations:

If you are a parent, coach, or spectator who observes inappropriate behavior, you are encouraged to report it confidentially to the club’s designated NCYSA Discipline and Appeals Liaison. This can be done through:
Filling out a formal Incident Report Form located at the bottom of this form.

Investigation:

Once a report is received, the club will investigate the situation. This may involve speaking to witnesses, the individual(s) involved, and any other relevant parties.
If the violation is found to be serious (e.g., verbal abuse, physical altercations, or repeated offenses), further disciplinary action may be taken, including a temporary or permanent ban from club events.

Disciplinary Actions:

Disciplinary actions will follow NCYSA Guidelines and will vary depending on the severity of the violation and may include:
A verbal or written warning.
A meeting with the violator (parent/player/coach) to discuss the incident.
Suspension or removal from a game, practice, or event.
Revocation of club membership for severe or repeated violations.

Follow-Up:

After addressing the violation, Waxhaw Soccer Club will follow up with the involved parties to ensure compliance with the club’s policies and to maintain a positive environment for all involved.
Regular communication will be maintained with parents, players, and coaches to ensure that everyone is informed about the expectations and standards of behavior.

Appeals:

Per NCYSA guidelines and Waxhaw Athletic Association governs, appeals can be submitted to the Club and Association.
