How Parents can Help

The Club believes that Parents play a very important role in their child’s development in sport. To that end, the Club would ask all parents to contribute to the Junior section of the Club and their child’s participation in sport. In particular the club expects all parents to:

1. Encourage but not force an unwilling child to participate in sport or in the Club.

2. Recognise that children’s enjoyment in sport and as a member of this Club is paramount.

3. Emphasise enjoyment and fun; praise and reinforce effort and improvement.

4. Promote and teach fair play by setting a good example.

5. Teach their child that effort and teamwork are as important as winning.

6. Help their child to set realistic goals, improve their skills and develop a positive sporting attitude.

7. Never ridicule or shout at any child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

8. Acknowledge and applaud good play by all players including opposing players; set an example by being friendly towards the opposing team, its supporters and parents.

9. Publicly accept an official’s judgment and never question his/her honesty or integrity.

10. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.

11. Recognise the importance and value of coaches and others within the Club who give their time, expertise and resources to provide guidance for their child.

12. Offer whatever assistance they can to the running of the junior Club and support the Club and their child where possible ie by providing transport to training/competitions; watching matches and training sessions; making sure that their child has appropriate clothing and equipment; supporting fund raising and social events.

13. Accept the responsibility for supervision of their child up to scheduled time for sessions, matches, etc.

14. Ensure that no child is left, waiting unsupervised after sessions are over.

15. Provide a passport size photograph of each child to be used to create a membership card as and when required.
