Parent Conduct

Parents,

Your child's success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are.  But having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient, has a positive attitude, and tries their best IS a direct reflection of your parenting.

The Parent Code of Conduct

1. I will remember that my child plays sports for their enjoyment, not mine.  I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
2. I will teach my child that doing one's best is as important as winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game/event.
3. I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly and trying their hardest.
4. I will remember that children learn best by example.  I will applaud good players' performances by both my child's team and their opponents.
5. I will not force my child to participate in sports. I will never question the official's judgement or honesty in public.
6. I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children's sporting activities.
7. I will respect and show appreciation for the trained volunteer coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child, understanding that I have a responsibility to be a part of my child's development.
8. I will respect and show appreciation for the other parents who share these beliefs.
