As a parent of a young paddler, I promise to:
Emphasize emotional and physical well-being of children, fair play and development of outrigger paddling skills over winning
Congratulate paddlers for effort, not for winning
Respect and support coaches as well as youth and adult officials.
Resolve disputes calmly and away from children with the coaching chain of command.
Demonstrate good sportsmanship through positive support for all paddlers, coaches and officials at all practices and races.
Remember that youth paddling is for youth, not adults
