With every game, tournament, and event, It’s Called Football strives to create a welcoming, competitive, and safe environment. As our leagues grow each season—from the winter excitement at Murry Bergtraum to spring weekends on the field—our commitment to fair play and mutual respect is what keeps our community strong.
1. Play Fairly and Transparently
Honesty matters. We rely on players to be truthful about their skill levels to keep the competition fair for everyone. Whether you’re joining our winter league or the spring 7v7 series, inclusivity and sportsmanship are core values.
2. Respect Referees and Their Decisions
Refereeing is tough, and our officials work hard to keep games enjoyable and fair. At any of our events, we ask that you appreciate their role and support a respectful atmosphere, even in heated moments.
3. Show Kindness On and Off the Field
While soccer is passionate and competitive, respect should always come first. It’s Called Football exists to foster a positive experience for all, so let’s keep it fun by respecting each other.
4. Avoid Rough or Reckless Play
Skill and teamwork are key to our league, so we encourage careful, safe play to ensure everyone feels comfortable on the field. We also discourage playing under the influence of alcohol, as it impacts both safety and the spirit of the game.
5. Commit to a Positive and Inclusive Culture
Our community is here to welcome everyone to soccer, no matter the season or event. Discriminatory behavior has no place at It’s Called Football—we’re dedicated to keeping our leagues inclusive for all.
It’s Called Football is more than just a league; it’s a vibrant community that values respect, teamwork, and the love of the game. Let’s continue building a culture where soccer thrives, and every season is a memorable one.
