Volunteering with PS United 

Pewaukee Sussex United is a volunteer organization which requires the participation of its member’s families to help with necessary functions to run the club. We need your help; unless all families provide a minimum level of volunteer commitment to the organization, the Club simply cannot function. 

Beginning with the 2013-2014, the club is instituting a volunteer fee for all families.  The fee of $50 is charged once to each family, regardless of the number of players.  Club members can "earn back" reimbursement of the volunteer fee by contributing time to the club.  Families that provide four hours of volunteer time during the club season will be reimbursed.  
 
PS United offers a number of ways for families to volunteer their time.  One of the best ways to get involved is to be a coach, assistant coach or team parent or manager, particularly at the recreational level.  If we cannot find coaches to coach we will not be able to place players to play. The Club also relies upon volunteers to help run annual Picture Days, and the annual recreational tournament held each spring.    

A complete list of volunteer activities is listed here.


Soccer Supplies

Players guardians are responsible for supplying a practice ball, shin guards and cleats for each child. Game uniforms are provided by the club. 


Recreational Team Formation

Per WYSA (Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association) there can only be a 50 percent carryover from year to year on Recreational soccer teams for U6 through U14. 


Playing Up and Playing Down

PS United Policy is that all players will be rostered within their age level.  One exception to this is if a players school grade supersedes a player’s age bracket.  Those instances would be reviewed by the club.  In the Academy and Select Programs, however, there will be opportunities provided for players to train and play competitive matches above their age level.  Please consult the Academy and Select pages for more specific information regarding these opportunities.    



Refunds

Pewaukee Sussex United assesses a non-refundable $25 fee to all registrants upon completing registration. After a player or players have been registered, requests for refund while the registration period is active will incur a $25 fee.  If a registrant wants a refund after the close of the registration period, they must submit it in writing and they will receive 50% of their registration fee, less $25, for requests made prior to August 1. After August 1, there are no refunds. 



Code of Conduct 

Pewaukee Sussex United is concerned about the conduct of all coaches and referees during games at all levels, from purely recreational to highly competitive.

 

We want to ensure that games are fair, positive and enjoyable experiences for all of the children and adults involved. A soccer game should be friendly and unifying - a spirited social and athletic occasion for players, coaches, referees and spectators.

 

In accordance with these general statements, PS United requires parents and guests of players within the club to abide by the following Code of Conduct:

  • I will not force my child to play soccer.
  • I will remember that my child participates in soccer primarily for his/her enjoyment, not mine.
  • I will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning and will be supportive no matter the outcome of the game.
  • I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
  • I will praise my child for trying hard and competing fairly.
  • I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other players for making a mistake or losing a game.
  • I will cheer good plays, regardless of the team.
  • I will remember that the players are amateurs and that they cannot be judged by the same standards as professionals.
  • I will show respect for my team’s opponents.
  • I will not use profanity, nor will I harass players, coaches, officials, or other spectators.
  • I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from profanity, drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.
  • I will strive to understand the Laws of the Game and the Waukesha Youth Soccer Association adaptations.
  • I will not coach from the sidelines.
  • I will not question an official’s bias or judgment in public.
  • I will respect and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches and officials who donate their time to my child.
  • I understand that the officials do their best and I will respect their decisions.
  • I also understand that the referee assigned is in charge of the game and, if asked to leave the game or the park, I must follow the request of the referee.  

By participating, parents indicate their understanding of the above statements and to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates the standards established in the Parental Code of Conduct. Failure to follow these guidelines will lead to disciplinary procedures to include:

  • Verbal warning by official, coach, and/or head of league organization
  • Written warning
  • Parental game suspension with written documentation of incident kept on file by organizations involved
  • Game forfeit through the official or coach
  • Parental suspension
