Policies

PARENT POLICY

I will never question the official's judgment in public.
I will never criticize or yell at my child for performance or losing a competition.
I will remember that children learn best by modeling. I will recognize and reward good players' performances by both my child's team and the opponent's team.
I will teach my child that doing one's best is as important as winning so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or event.
I will support my child in all circumstances by offering praise for competing fairly and for honest effort.
I will encourage my child to play in the spirit of the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
I will remember that my child plays soccer for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.
I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth activities.
I will respect and show appreciation for the coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child, understanding that I have a responsibility to be a part of my child's development.
I will respect and show appreciation for the other parents who share these standards of behavior.
I agree to honor the game.

PRACTICE POLICY

Practices can be cancelled, rescheduled, or postponed by the coach for reasons pertinent to their specific team. Practices will not be cancelled for:

cold weather
hot weather
heavy winds

Practices will only be cancelled for the following reasons: Unsafe playing conditions, including lightning or heavy rain before or during a practice.  

BAD WEATHER POLICY

Games and practices will be held as scheduled unless communicated by Toro Soccer Club.  We will do our best to notify parents of any cancellations via text and or email, as early as possible.

We take lightning very serious.  If lightning is present, we will wait 30 minutes from the last visible lightning strike, before resuming any activity on the field. 

REFUND POLICY

Once the season has started, as defined by the first scheduled practice/session, no refunds will be issued except in the case of non-placement on the part of the Toro Soccer Academy.  If Toro Soccer Academy is not able to place your player on a team, the full registration amount will be refunded.  No partial or prorated refunds will be granted for sessions a participant is absent from due to illness, vacation, or any other event that precludes their attendance.  Refunds will not be granted for injuries sustained after the season starts.  All refunds, if granted, are subject to a processing fee. 

All requests must be submitted in writing, attention to:  [email protected].

Please include the player's name, reason for refund, and date of payment.
