Children
play sports for fun. They are not playing for the entertainment of the spectators
and they are NOT miniature professionals. Applaud good performances from each
team. Congratulate all players, regardless of the outcome. Respect the referee's
decisions. If there is a disagreement, follow the appropriate procedure in order
to query the decisions. Always be positive. Never ridicule or shout at a child
for making a mistake during competition. Condemn the use of violence in any form,
be it by spectators, coaches or players. Respect your team's opponents and officials,
for without them there would be no competition. Encourage players to obey the
rules and the decisions of officials. Demonstrate appropriate social behavior
by not using foul language, harassing players, coaches or officials. Respect the
rights of other and avoid the use of derogatory language based on gender, race
or impairment. Always respect the use of facilities and equipment provided.
Teams
are responsible for their fans. A referee has the right to call a technical foul
as a result of inappropriate behavior.
It
is up to us, the adults, to provide the best possible example today for tomorrow’s
future.
