Parent Code of Conduct
·
I
will never ridicule or yell at my child or another participant for making a mistake
or losing a competition.
·
I
will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning, so
that my child will not be defeated by the outcome of any game.

I
will respect and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches, who give their time
for the benefit of my child.

I
realize that the team or club can be penalized for my misconduct. If required,
I and any of my guests must obey a request by an official or coach to leave the
vicinity of the field.
·
I
realize any misconduct on my part (or a guest of mine) may result in a hearing
and possible disciplinary action and can result in immediate lost of club
eligibility for my child and myself.

contact the appropriate official in the Club.
