- Control my temper and demonstrate good sportsmanship towards all.
- Be gracious when my team wins; be graceful when my team loses.
- Respect, support, and assist all league volunteers, coaches, players and referees in creating a positive environment for learning and playing soccer.

For our competitive programs, our coaching staff will evaluate players by birth year. It is less common for players to play up beyond the U9 age group. If our coaches feel a player's development would benefit more by playing on an older team than a team within their true birth year, a coach will discuss the opportunity with the player and parents during the tryout process. Playing down is not allowed except for in specific circumstances within our MLS Next program.
For our recreational programs, all players must play with their own birth year. We do not allow players to play up or play down.
Ballistic United Soccer Club takes concussions very seriously. All players suspected to have or diagnosed with a concussion will be required to seek a medical evaluation and present a doctor notice indicating that they have been evaluated which should include a "return to play" protocol to be given to the coach or a club official before they will be allowed to return to participate. There are NO exceptions to this policy. See more concussion information on the following link as needed.
