Parents Code of Conduct

There is more to life than any one sport. Encourage your child to participate in other activities.

Parents Code of Conduct

• Respect the coach's decisions and abilities. Don't force your kid to decide whether to listen to you or the coach.
• Stress fair and sensible play. Nobody needs to get hurt because someone is not playing by the rules.
• Stress the long-term importance of practice over the short-term excitement of games.
• Stress the importance of the team. Never lose sight of the fact that you are a role model.
• Winning probably means more to you than it does to your kid. Don't yell if your kid makes a mistake.
• Point out what they do well.Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
• Take time to learn the rules of the game. That way, if you insist on shouting at the ref, at least you'll know what you are talking about.
• Remember that coaches and league administrators are volunteers. A "thank you" every once in a while is often reward enough.
