Schedule

Zero Tolerance

The goal of the Petrolia Soccer Club is to provide a fun, safe, positive, and supportive atmosphere for the players, staff, and spectators.

Petrolia Soccer has a Zero Tolerance stance towards any unsportsmanlike act or conduct. Any participant, coach, spectator, or official may be disqualified from future participation for any unsportsmanlike conduct and actions. This includes but is not limited to: booing, shouting at officials, or arguing any calls. Expressing ANY negative behavior or comments, threats or obscene gestures to players, coaches, officials or other spectators is also unacceptable.

Cheering in a positive fashion, for both sides is highly encouraged. We are a recreational league with fundamentals and FUN as the 2 primary emphases.

All coaches are volunteers, we should all appreciate their time and efforts. Our officials will be treated with respect. Officiating youth sports is a low-paying, selfless profession, and often is their first job. All spectators should support the coaches and officials so they set a good example for their children.

24hr Rule: If you have a complaint, suggestion, or any concerns, please go home and take some time to think about the situation for 24hrs. After that time if you are still upset and feel that the situation needs to be addressed, please reach out to our board to handle the complaint/ situation properly.
