• Respect all players, regardless of age, skill level, or background.
• Embrace the spirit of street soccer—creative, fast, and free-flowing play.
• Avoid excessive celebrations, taunting, or trash talk that disrespects others.

2. Safety & Fair Play

• No reckless or dangerous play—we encourage skill, not aggression.
• No slide tackles or overly physical challenges that put others at risk.
• Keep your hands to yourself—no pushing, grabbing, or fighting.
