Parents Code of Conduct (from USA Hockey)
Do not force your children to participate in sports, but
support their desires to play their chosen sport. Children are involved in
organized sports for their enjoyment. Make it fun.
Encourage your child to play by the rules. Remember,
children learn best by example, so applaud the good plays of both teams.
Do not embarrass your child by yelling at players,
coaches, or officials. By showing a positive attitude toward the game and all
of its participants, your child will benefit.
Emphasize skill development and practices and how they
benefit your young athlete. De-emphasize games and competition in the lower
age groups.
Know and study the rules of the game, and support the
officials on and off the ice. This approach will help in the development and
support of the game. Any criticism of the officials only hurts the game.
Applaud a good effort in victory and in defeat and
enforce the positive points of the game. Never yell or physically abuse your
child after a game or practice - it is destructive. Work toward removing the
physical and verbal abuse in youth sports.
Recognize the importance of volunteer coaches. They are
very important to the development of your child and the sport. Communicate
with them and support them.
If you enjoy the game, learn all you can about the game,
and volunteer!
