PARENTS and SPECTATORS CODE
1.
The attitude shown by parents and spectators at games towards their
child, the opposing team, the officials and the coaches influence
the child's values and behaviour in sports.
2.
Children have more need for example than criticism.
3.
Make athletic participation for your child and others a positive
experience.
4.
Attempt to relieve the pressure of competition, not increase
it.
5.
Be understanding of your child's coach. He or she is a
volunteer.
6.
Treat the coach as being sincere in his/her intent to be working on
behalf of every member of the team and the team as a
whole.
7.
The opponents are necessary friends. Without them, your child could
not participate meaningfully.
8.
Applaud good plays by both teams.
9.
Do not openly question the official's judgement and never his
honesty.
10. Accept the
results of each game. Encourage the child to be gracious in victory
and defeat. |
