Player code of conduct

---

At Asante Soccer Academy our goal is to prepare you for the future. We are not just teaching you how to be a better Soccer player but also how to be a better person. Education, Respect, and accountability come from all extra-curricular activities.

Education is focused towards you gaining necessary knowledge and skills to improve your ability to create value and a livelihood for yourself; this is why we stress the importance of getting an education by paying attention in school and ensuring homework completion.

Respect is showing consideration for and treating others courteously and kindly, to pay proper attention and not violate others.  This is how we expect you to behave towards everyone! Not just at soccer but in your daily life.  Accountability is accepting responsibility for one’s actions and belongings. You and you alone are responsible for your actions, not your teammates or your parents.

If you cannot demonstrate these behaviors and attributes then The Asante Soccer Academy is not the place for you.
