Chain of Communication:

If a problem arises, the first step in communication is speaking with the coach.

SPORTSMANSHIPWHEN ATTENDING EVENTS, HOME OR AWAY…

BE LOUD, BE PROUD, BE POSITIVE!

• DO NOT APPROACH YOUR COACH IN A NEGATIVE WAY ON THE DAY OF A GAME,

OR AS THEY ARE WALKING TO AND FROM PRACTICE, LOCKER ROOM, OR THE

BUS.

• SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR COACH

• DON’T EVER APPROACH AN OFFICIAL

• IF YOU ARE CONFRONTED BY ANYONE FOR ANY REASON, DO NOT RECIPROCATE,

WALK AWAY.

ADVICEPARENTS AND SPECTATORS SHOULD FOCUS ON:

• DID YOU PLAY HARD?

• DID YOU PLAY YOUR BEST?

• WHAT DO YOU RECALL FROM THE GAME?

• DID YOU ENJOY THE GAME?

• WHAT SKILLS DO YOU NEED TO WORK ON TO IMPROVE?

DON’T FOCUS ON:

• HOW MUCH DID YOU PLAY?

• HOW WERE YOUR INDIVIDUAL STATS?

A POSITIVE PROGRAM IS A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM!
