How To Be a Spectator and Role Model
- "Positive encouragement is good; negative comments are bad."
- "Cheering is good, but do not yell at your child or anyone else’s child during the game. It can be distracting & what you tell them may be different from what the coaches are saying. If you would like to be an assistant coach, please call me, I would love your help."
- "Be careful not to say anything that might be taken the wrong way or hurt someone’s feelings. Remember: this is for fun & these are children."
- "Be a good role model & a good sport."
- "Do not yell at the referees or say anything bad to or about the other team. Never boo the other team or cheer when they make a mistake."
