Parent Expectations

Parent Code of Conduct (from Parker Rec)

• • I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice, or other youth sports event.

  • I will be a positive spectator and engage in positive cheering from the parent’s sideline. Insulting comments, arguing and challenging the coaches will not be tolerated.

  • I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win.

  • I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.

  • I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.

  • I will demonstrate respect for officials, in part by accepting their decisions. Insulting comments, arguing, gestures and profanity directed at officials will not be tolerated.

  • I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all youth sports events.

  • I will remember that the game is for youth - not for adults.

  • I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.

  • I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation.

  • I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.

  • I understand that violence and abuse of any nature will not be tolerated.
