The coach is a volunteer giving of personal time and money to provide a recreational activity for your child. The opponents are necessary friends. Without them your child could not participate. Applaud good plays by our team and by members of the opposing team. Do Not openly question an official's judgement and honesty.
Officials are symbols of fair play, integrity and sportmanship.
Accept the results of each game. Encourage your child to be gracious in victory, and to turn defeat into victory by working towards improvement. A poem reprint from the Oxford Standard. Don't curse the athletes down there. They are our children, you see.
