Parents

  • Remember that children play for their fun, not yours!
  • Encourage children to play, do not force them
  • Praise your child's efforts whether they win or lose
  • Applaud all good play
  • Never ridicule a child for losing or making a mistake
  • Children learn best by following a good example
  • Learn the rules to better understand what you are looking at and commenting on
  • Show your appreciation to all officials, coaches and helpers
  • Condemn the use of violence, profane language and any form of abuse
  • Think of how you can best help the coach and/or the club
