WHAT IS REC SOCCER?
RUFC recreational soccer leagues are an introductory program devoted to the enjoyment of the game and the development of players. In our recreational league, the emphasis is on fun, learning how to play the game, and developing life-long skills. Players should be free to make mistakes without feeling high-level pressure from coaches and parents to win.
Our hope is for parents to ask children if they had fun after the game. Positive reinforcement of recreational players is critical to their enjoyment of the game and benefit the child much more than discussing mistakes.
AS A PARENT, HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Every person in sport, in every role, has the right to participate in an environment that is fun, safe and healthy, and to be treated with respect, dignity and fairness.
Bullying denies participants these rights and can result in feelings of disgrace, embarrassment, shame or intimidation. Bullying can also affect an individual’s athletic performance, level of enjoyment, work or school life, academic achievement and physical and mental health
- Maintain realistic expectations

What is bullying?
Bullying is deliberately hurting a specific person either physically, verbally, psychologically or socially. It involves a power imbalance where one person has power or strength (e.g. physical, mental, social or financial) over another. It can be carried out by one person or several people who are either actively or passively involved. In a sports context bullying can take many forms, for example:
- A parent telling their child that they are incompetent, hopeless, useless, etc.
- A coach alienating an athlete (adult or child)
- Several people ganging-up on an individual team member
- Spectators verbally abusing players from the opposition
- An athlete calling a referee names and using put-downs
- A parent intimidating a young coach
