EXPECTATIONS OF PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND SPECTATORS

• Encourage players to participate , do not force them.
• Remember that players learn best from example.  Applaud good play by both teams.
• Encourage players to always participate according to the rules and respect official's decisions.
• An umpire's job is a difficult one - put yourself in their position - how would you like to be treated?
• If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than questioning the official's judgment and honesty in public.

• Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.

• Always play by the rules.
• Control your temper - treat others as you would like to be treated - bullying will not be tolerated.
