Parent/Spectator Code of Conduct
My family and I (including any guest we may have in attendance) agree to follow the rules of the facilities, as well as following the code of conduct.
We will make sure that our children are having fun and that they are participating because they want to.
We will remember that the game is for the children, not for the adults.
We will reinforce and emphasize all aspects of the Player Code of Conduct, especially behavior expectations, 100% effort, team first mentality, playing by the rules, and respect for the game, coaches, officials, and teammates.
We will remember that winning or losing are just outcomes of games, and that winning is not the reason they are playing.
We will respect decisions made by coaches and referees and will refrain from “sideline coaching.”
We will only give positive feedback to players on both teams.
We will praise our children for competing fairly and trying hard. We will help our children by pointing out the strong points of their game.
We will refrain from using foul language, arguing with coaches or officials, or otherwise showing lack of sportsmanship.
All practices and games are drug and tobacco free.
We agree to have fun watching our kids play!
