ASSOCIATED FOOTBALL CLUB
PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
|
|
|
As a parent, you playa special role in
the development of your son or daughter, and of his/her
teammates. Your encouragement and good example will
do more to ensure good sportsmanship and self-discipline
than any other influence. The other team is the opponent,
not the enemy, and should be treated with respect. While
winning is important, playing well and fairly is the
essence of the game. |
| |
|
|
Support
Your Child |
| |
Support your child by giving encouragement and showing
interest in his/her team. Help your child work toward
skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game.
Teach you child that hard work and an honest effort is
more often more important than victory. |
| |
|
|
Always
Be Positive |
| |
Children learn more by example than by criticism. Work
to be a positive role model, and reinforce positive behaviour
in others. Applaud good play by others on your child's
team as well as good play by the opposing team. Do not
criticise any child's performance from the sidelines.
Accept the results of each game. Teach you.r child to
be gracious in victory and to turn defeat into learning
and working toward improvement. |
| |
|
|
Don't
Be A Sideline Coach or Referee |
| |
Refrain from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines.
Parents who shout or scream from the sidelines often give
inappropriate advice at the wrong time. The coach should
be the only sideline voice. Remain well back from the
sidelines and within the supporter's area. You and your
child will both enjoy the game more if you put some emotional
distance between yourself and the field of play. Officials
are symbols of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship
Do not openly question their judgement or honesty. |
| |
|
|
Positive
Attiude |
| |
Demonstrate a positive attitude towards your opponents
and their families. |
| |
|
|
Opponents
Are Not Enemies |
| |
Take care to show good hospitality at home and to represent
Clonakilty AF.C. in a positive way when visiting other
clubs. Never allow yourself to be drawn into a verbal
disagreement with opposing parents or coaches. No one
has ever regretted letting "cooler heads prevail". |
| |
|
|
Remember
That Your Child Wants To Have Fun |
| |
Your child is the one playing soccer, not you. Children
must establish their own goals to play the game for themselves.
Take care not to impose unreasonable demands on your child.
Let your children experience the fun of playing as well
as the challenge of excelling. |
