 Parent Code of Conduct

Parents are a part of the team and are important role models.

  • Appreciate your child’s efforts; children should know that win or lose you love them.
  • Be honest to yourself about your child’s athletic capacity, competitive attitude, sportsmanship and actual skill level.
  • Do not shout advice during the game; talk to your child after the game and when they are ready.
  • Do not harass or criticize the referee, the other team, or other players.
  • Don’t compare the skill, courage, or attitudes of your children with other members of the team.
  • Do not discuss game situations with the coach immediately after a game; wait 24 hours in order to ensure a better interaction.
  • Get to know the coach so that you can understand his/her philosophy, attitudes, ethics, and leadership style.
  • Support the coaches with the things they are trying to accomplish.
  • Parents have a responsibility to provide feedback via an annual survey.
