Message to Parents

Remember the Code of Conduct you and your child signed.

 

No alcohol, drugs, or tobacco at any Arcs events, this is including practice. If you must smoke, please remove yourself and away from the field. Avoid swearing or obscene language. As an adult, you are a role model for every child on the team.

Don’t expect your child to perform like a professional. Don’t yell at your child for mistakes. This sport is not easy for them, and each child must learn and develop at their own speed. Praise hard and accomplishments. Don’t be more critical of your child than you would be of someone else’s child. You will not always agree with an official’s call or judgment. How you react sends a message about acceptable conduct. There are lessons to be learned both from victory and defeat and if losing graciously or “life is not fair” are the lessons, try to share and teach them positively.

Please treat the coaches with respect. They are doing the best they can. You may not agree with all the coach’s decisions, but the coach is the final authority.
