DRUG, ALCOHOL & TOBACCO POLICY
PARENT(S’) PLEDGE
As parent(s) of a player participating in the OREGON YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION, I/we will support _______________’s agreement to abide by all the training rules because chemical dependency is a progressive, but treatable, disease. "Dependency" is characterized by continued drinking/drugging, in spite of recurring problems resulting from that use.
TO DEMONSTRATE MY/OUR SUPPORT, I/WE PLEDGE TO:
- Set a positive example for my players by abstaining from all illegal drugs and by adhering to the OYSA Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Policy (providing, to the extent possible, a drug, alcohol and tobacco-free environment for all soccer related activities).
- Heighten my/our awareness of my/our child’s behavior, psychological needs, social habits and academic status.
- Assert my/our authority as parent(s) in supporting and guiding my/our child.
- Provide support for my/our child if it becomes apparent that a problem exists by seeking information and assistance.
- Not enable by covering up or providing an alibi for my/our child if any training rules are broken. I will hold him/her responsible for his/her actions.
- Uphold the coach and other club personnel by providing information and support in dealing with my/our child.
