I will not force my child to participate in sports, but will support his desire to play his chosen sport. I know that children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, and will do what I can to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. 

I will encourage my child to play by the rules. I know that children learn best by example, so I will encourage fair play and applaud the good plays of both teams. 

I will not embarrass my child by yelling at players, coaches, or officials. I will not embarrass my child by banging on the glass. I will show a positive attitude toward the game and all of its participants, 

I will emphasize skill development and practices and promote their benefits to my young athlete. I will de- emphasize games and competition, especially in the younger age groups. 

I will study the rules of the game, and support the officials both on and off the ice. This approach will help in the development and support of the game and retain officials for future years. 

I will applaud a good effort in victory and in defeat and reinforce the positive points of the game. I will never yell at, or physically abuse, my child after a game or practice. I All work toward removing physical and verbal abuse from youth sports. 

I recognize the importance of volunteer coaches and others, They are very important to the development of my child and the sport. I will communicate with them, as required, and support them. 

I agree that if I fail to abide by this Code of Conduct, I will be subject to discipline as reviewed by the SMAHL board.
