PARENTS’ CODE

Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.

· Remember children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours.

· Encourage your child to play by the rules.

· Teach your child that an honest effort is as important as a victory so the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.

· Turn defeat to victory by helping your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship. Never ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

· Remember that children learn best by example.

· Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.

· Do not publicly question the officials’ judgment and never their honesty.

· Support all effort to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.

· Recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches. They give their time and resources to provide recreational activities to your child.

· Parents should encourage their children to play by the rules, that an honest effort is as important as a victory and applaud good plays by their own team as well as good plays by opposing teams.
