Wikipedia has an informative section on the history and rules of soccer (football).
You can find SYSAs parents code of conduct here.
If there is not enough soccer in your life, there are many ways to be more connected or even play yourself in a open, 30+, 40+, or co-ed league which you can explore via the links above.
Note that if you have old youth soccer shoes or balls, please consider donating them to Cleveland SCORES who will donate them to less-fortunate inner city kids. Please use this form to obtain local Shaker contact information for your donations.
