McLean Youth Soccer Association

As members of the McLean community who enjoy the privilege of using County fields for our games and practices, it is essential that we always respectful of the property rights and privacy of those homes that border the fields and the other people who also use the parks and schools.  Accordingly, it is essential that MYS members observe the following code of conduct for all the fields used by our members.

1. Never trespass on private property to gain access to a field. It is better to be a few minutes late than to violate another person’s property rights.
    
2. Minimize the noise levels during warm-ups for early morning games and late evening practices.  Use of horns, wooden clappers, sirens, power megaphones and other noisemakers is prohibited at all times.
    
3. Use public toilets or Port-A-Jons. The alternative is frankly uncivil.
    
4. Leave the field free of all trash at the end of a game or practice, even if some of it was there from the group before. This includes bottles, caps, athletic tape, food wrappers, etc. It is a simple matter to police the field before leaving.
    
5. Use legal parking spaces, even if it requires a longer walk to the field.

We need to establish a high standard of respect for the environment, the neighbors and the other users of the park and school fields.  All of these codes of conduct will help educate our children to be responsible adults and enhance our relationship with the neighbors who share our community.

MYS gains use of the fields by permits granted from the Fairfax County Park Authority. MYS is responsible for monitoring and closing the fields. Regardless of whether a field is officially closed by the FCPA at 3 PM or MYS (via this website or the hotline), it is still YOUR responsbility to monitor field conditions and stay off if conditions warrant. Because this website and the hotline are usually not updated after 3 PM on weekdays and 7 am on weekends, you must help us follow the FCPA guidelines. The FCPA guidelines: fields are closed if you can see standing water on a field, hear a "squishing" sound when you walk, or water puddles around your shoe when you step.
