PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Parental support of FAAM is vital, and greatly appreciated. In order to provide a positive climate for coaches and players to do their best, eliminate distractions that might negatively impact the program, model good sportsmanship, and promote an atmosphere that allows all to enjoy “The Best Game In Town,” we are asking for your support of the following Parental Code of Conduct.
We strongly encourage your active, positive support of your child, and look forward to your attendance at the games and other sponsored activities. The concept of sportsmanship however, must be taught, modeled and reinforced by adults. The parents/guardians of athletes must maintain self-control and demonstrate proper perspective as it relates to winning and losing. Accordingly, we are asking all parents/guardians, and spectators who attend games to abide by the following:
Please show respect for others by refraining from booing or yelling derogatory comments or remarks from the stands towards players, spectators, coaches or officials. Personal insults or abusive, foul language will not be tolerated. Violations may result in penalties against your child’s team and ejection of the offender.
Parents shall not confront or seek to conference with coaches or officials during or immediately after games, except in cases of injuries or emergency medical treatment for their child.
Conferences with the Coach to discuss or critique their game preparation, coaching strategy, or the status of other players will not be held. Any conferences to discuss your child’s status must be scheduled with the Coach in advance.
Other forms of behavior that are disruptive to the game, or others enjoyment of the game will not be allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, approaching the bench area while the game is in progress, or attempting to coach your child or direct other players during games or practices.
Be supportive of your child’s effort and the efforts of their teammates – be encouraging rather than negative regardless of the outcome of the game.
