Semiahmoo Soccer Club : Parents Code of Conduct

1. The attitude shown by parents 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.
