1) I will remember that children play sport for their enjoyment. They are not playing to entertain me.
2) I will not have unrealistic expectations. I will remember that child athletes are not miniature professionals and cannot be judged by professional standards.
3) I will respect the officials’ decisions and I will encourage participants to do the same.
4) I will never ridicule an athlete for making a mistake during a competition. I will give positive comments that motivate and encourage continued effort.
5) I will condemn the use of violence in any form and will express my disapproval in an appropriate manner to coaches and league officials.
6) I will show respect for my team’s opponents, because without them there would be no game.
7) I will not use bad language, nor will I harass athletes, coaches, officials or other spectators.
