Our Parent's Code
- Children have more need of example than criticism.
- Make athletic participation for your child and others a positive experience.
- Attempt to relieve the pressure of competition, not increase it. A child is easily affected by outside influences.
- Be kind to your child's coaches and to game officials. They are volunteers giving of their personal time to provide a recreational activity for your child.
- The opponents are necessary friends - without them your child could not participate.
- Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
- Between the exuberance of the winner and the disappointment of the loser is the referee. All referees follow the same creed to watch every move of the player and to call the game to the best of their ability. Do not openly question their judgment and never their honesty. The referee is a symbol of fair play, integrity, and
sportsmanship.
- Accepts the results of each team. Encourage your child to be gracious in victory, and to turn defeat into victory by working towards improvement.
Our Player's Code
