Idaho Futsal – Spectator Code of Conduct

Idaho Futsal games are hosted at school facilities by permission, and all spectators are expected to help maintain a safe and respectful environment.

Failure to comply with this Code of Conduct may jeopardize Idaho Futsal’s ability to use school facilities.

Spectators Must:

  • Cheer positively and respectfully at all times.
  • Remain in designated spectator areas (bleachers).
  • Allow coaches and referees to manage the game.

Spectators Must NOT:

  • Enter the court or bench areas before, during, or after games.
  • Yell at, confront, or follow referees, players, or coaches.
  • Use threatening, abusive, or inappropriate language or gestures.
  • Engage in physical or verbal altercations of any kind.

Enforcement:

  • Violations may result in immediate removal, and/or suspension from future games, including games played without spectators.
  • Penalties will be assessed in accordance with the USSF RAP’s Penalties Matrix, which outlines consequences for physical and non-physical offenses.  While this matrix was developed by USSF to address referee abuse, Idaho Futsal applies the same standards and sanctions to any form of abuse directed at any individual, regardless of role.
  • Serious incidents may result in facility bans and law enforcement involvement.

Reminder: Players are children. Referees are human. Respect is non-negotiable.
