Parents Code of Conduct

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in Sarnia Huron Lakers Basketball Program by following this Parents Code of Conduct pledge:

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all participants, Coaches, Officials, Board Members, and Staff at program sponsored events either at home or away.  

I will be supportive of my child and the team and will try not to be a coach or a referee. 

I will let my child work out any issues or concerns with the coach or other players on their own first; if they are unable to resolve the issue, then I will assist in the resolution. 

I will place the emotional, psychological, and physical well being of my child, and any other child in the program ahead of any personal desires I may have.

I will insist that my child participate in a safe and healthy environment.

I will remember that the Program is for the youth and not for the adults.

I will ask my child to treat other participants, coaches, board members, parents and spectators, with respect, regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.

I will along with any guest of mine refrain from any all-vulgar, lewd or obscene language or gestures while participating in, or watching any league sponsor event whether at home or away.

I will direct all my comments and criticisms to parents, participants, officials, board members away from the children participating in the program, and conduct myself in a calm, civilized manner when doing so.

I will read the Parents Code of Conduct, and agree to abide by those rights and responsibilities.
