Player Expectations

1. Respect the Game and Everyone in It

Play by the rules. Respect your teammates, opponents, coaches, referees, and supporters. Without each other, there is no game.

2. Lead with Positivity – Even Under Pressure

Keep calm and stay composed. Disagreements happen, but abuse – verbal or physical – is never okay. Let your soccer do the talking and support others to do the same.

3. Give Your Best Effort, Every Time

Effort matters more than perfection. Show up, work hard, keep learning, and celebrate your own and your teammates’ progress. We all grow when we give our best.

4. Play as a Team – Win or Lose

We rise by lifting each other. Support your teammates, include everyone, and remember that how we play – not just the score – defines our success.

5. Be Proud of How You Represent the Stars

Your actions reflect our club. Whether on the pitch, at training, online, or in the community – choose kindness, fairness, and inclusion.

6. Celebrate the Game – For the Joy of It

Love the game for what it gives you: friendships, fun, challenge, and growth. Play because you enjoy it – not just to impress others.

7. Make Space for Everyone to Belong

We welcome players of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities. There’s no room for bullying, exclusion, or discrimination at the Stars.

8. Be Coachable and Committed

Listen with an open mind, try new things, and trust the process. Respect your coaches and managers – they’re here to help you grow, on and off the field.

9. Use Words That Build Others Up

Language matters. Choose words that include and support others. Avoid anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or hurtful – on or off the pitch.

A Note for All Our Players

Being a Star means more than wearing the kit. It means showing up with heart, lifting each other up, and playing the game in a way we can all be proud of. No matter your age, position, or experience – you belong here, and you matter to this club.
