Dallas International School Soccer Program
October 1, 2008
Dear Soccer Parents,
With a program now involving almost 140 participants, we want to remind you and your child of certain policies and procedures attached to DIS Soccer:
1 – PLAYERS DISCIPLINE
The Soccer program is a school activity, and therefore the DIS policy and rules regarding discipline apply, regarding respect of other students, coaches, administration personnel and facilities or equipment, along with proper dress code as decided by Coaches. This extends to remote practice fields and gyms, associated transportation by parent as well as game fields.
Coaches will enforce discipline with the following measures:
- Verbal caution
- Yellow Card, recorded as a warning
- Second yellow card leads to sit out or suspension for one practice (red Card)
- Consecutive yellow cards the same week would lead to practice and game suspension (Red Card)
- Straight Red Card would lead to immediate suspension for the rest of practice, the next and a minimum of one game.
Red cards given by Referees during a game can lead to additional suspension by DIS, depending on the cause.
A sanction committee made of the Soccer Director, the Team Representative and the head Coach will examine and validate any sanction from a Red card taken during a game or practice.
Players suspended during practice will be returned to afterschool care with associated charge, if no parents are present.
Unplanned absence or tardiness at games and practice could result in game time reduction; however, the DIS soccer program is very flexible regarding its practice schedule, and has a guest option for some players, especially non DIS students, who cannot practice but display the required level of skills, team spirit and experience, subject to coach appreciation.
2 – PARENTS BEHAVIOR
Parental cheering, not coaching is what players need during games; Parents naturally tend to intervene, and therefore interfere with coach management of the game, especially in tense situations. Considering the level of skills among parents, the advice and instructions could be right, but the confusion in our young players mind would be even greater. Please make sure you are sitting or standing at the appropriate location on the sidelines and that your communication with the children does not present a risk of conflict with coach instructions.
Remarks to referees can create a difficult situation for the coach, who is in charge of dealing with unfairness or safety issues on the field. Parent to parent conflict will not be managed by coaches, nor referees, and would have strong negative repercussions among players, so restrain of your reactions and respect of the opposing team parent group is absolutely necessary.
If you disagree or would like to make a recommendation to your coach, games are usually not the right time to do it, so we encourage to use the TeamRep channel to address certain situations; however, any information regarding a participant to the game and possibly affecting or helping coaching decisions is welcome during or before the event.
A key to the success of our team is your commitment to take your child to games at the right time, a minimum of 15 minutes before kick-off, and verify the equipment, but moreover, to inform your team representative of any absence, either planned or last minute.
3 – INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
The DIS Soccer program intends to allow each team to practice at least once a week, and will use the school Gym and rent Indoor facilities when required, the latter with a not-to-exceed budget of 25 sessions per semester (2 weeks per month per team). Therefore:
- Monday, Thursday and Friday practice will be cancelled
- Tuesday and Wednesday will be transferred to the DIS Gym and the Churchill Recreation Center.
For Maternelle II, a succession of cancellation would lead to make up sessions being organized to guarantee the minimum per semester (16 weeks)
Game cancellation is decided by League officials, not teams, so do not assume it has been decided before hearing from your team rep or verifying the Hotline and appropriate websites.
Remember also that inclement weather does not only affect outdoor soccer at the time of the event, but can also render the fields improper to play for several days, even with clear sky then.
Another frequent cause of closing fields is the damage caused by sprinkler system breakdown or reconstruction. Dallas North Soccer is usually quick to cancel or postpone for quality grass preservation, but light rain is not such a reason.
A hotline has been set up for DIS (214-283-8478) in English and French to give you the information regarding practices and games.
As far as practice is concerned, a decision to cancel or move to the Gyms will be made and communicated the previous evening as much as possible. However, we strongly recommend players to bring equipment suitable to both indoor and outdoor at all time.
Sincerely,
Sophie Davis,
Director, DIS Soccer Program

DIS at FC Dallas
Dear Parents,
I will stop tomorrow at about 8 AM to drop the FC Dallas tickets in the Lobby for you to pick up. If you haven't paid yet, please take the opportunity to do so at that time (check to the order of PTO for $18 each ticket).
I have put your tickets in an envelope with your name as it appears in the Directory, and also provided one Free Ball voucher per child, and a voucher for one adult t-shirt (instructions to redeem are on it).
However, I have included some single tickets, and the associated voucher, with families as follows:
Sergei Pelletier with the Vilaclaras
Valentine Habrard with the Sarrazins
Harold Sorel with the Gassins
If you want your child to cheer the pros from really close, please remember to be no later than 1:25 PM at the Top of section 122 (east Sideline) very close to your seating section (124 rows 4 to 9), and of course wear your DIS Tiger Uniforms (hopefully, everybody will have one, especially Little Zoe...) Antoine and a couple of volunteer parents will accompany the group to the field, and I expect at least a few pictures for my Newsletter and the website.
For those who have never been to the stadium, allow 45 minutes from Inwood/I-635 to reach Main Street in Frisco, using the Dallas Toll way. As there is a painful traffic jam at the Main Street tollgate on game days, I strongly recommend to go another mile north to the next exit, and backtrack south on the Pizza Hut road, even if you pay an extra buck. Parking is free and you can enter by the North Concourse, then walk to your left until you reach section 122 or 124.
Let me know if you haven't got your tickets on Saturday or if you do not have the envelope content as expected.
Enjoy!
Philippe HABRARD
