Parent's Code of Conduct

1. Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.
2. Encourage your child to always play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
3. Teach your child that honest effort is as important as winning so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.
4. Never ridicule or yell at your child, or any other child, for making a mistake or losing a competition.
5. Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship.
6. Do not publicly question an official’s judgment or honesty - it is unacceptable to speak to an official directly about a call, that is the responsibility of the coach/team captain.
7. Support all efforts to remove verbal or physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.
8. Recognize the value and importance of the coaches - they are volunteers giving of their time and resources to provide recreational activities for your child.
9. Understand that respectful and procedural communications with coaches and referees is always required,  even if you have a personal relationship with those individuals.
10. Be ready to assist the team and the association whenever possible within the limits of your own time and resources.
