"For the Good of the Game"
- Do not Coach your child during training sessions and games. That’s what the coaches are there for, it sends mixed messages to the players creating confusion.
- Do not interfere with training sessions unless requested to by the coach.
- Cheer on and encourage the players at all times, even the opposition, applaud good football all-round.
- Winning at all costs isn’t our aim, we’re here to develop the players, at this age learning is more important than winning.
- Remember that children play sport for their enjoyment, not yours.
- Encourage children to participate, do not force them.
- Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.
- Encourage children to always participate according to the rules.
- Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game.
- Remember that children learn best by example, applaud good play by all teams.
- Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
- Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.
- Show appreciation of coaches, officials and administrators. Without them, your child could not participate.
- Respect the facilities that are being used.
- We encourage Parent's to take notice to what is being coached as your idea of good play like a big kick out from the back is not what is being instructed.
