Code of Conduct
Parents
Treat players, other parents, coaches, and referees with the utmost respect at all times.
Do not force your children to play sports, but support their desire to play their chosen sport. Children are involved in organized sports for THEIR enjoyment. Always make it FUN.
Be a positive role model. Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with dignity; display emotional maturity.
Use positive encouragement to increase confidence and build self-esteem in your children and foster a respect and appreciation for the sport. Stress the importance of the team play over personal statistics and recognition. Encourage your children to develop good practice and game habits in an effort to continually improve their skills.
Foster the development of good character by teaching, enforcing, advocating, and modeling high standards of ethics and sportsmanship.
Encourage your children to learn the rules of their sport and abide by them at all times.
Recognize the effort put in by volunteer coaches. Communicate with and support them in any way that you can.
Be responsible for guests you bring.
Respect the facilities. Without them, there would not be a place to play.
