PLAYING RULES

Coaches & Parents, remember the NTSSA Parent's Code of Conduct
 
  • Children have more need for example than for criticism.
     
  • Attempt to relieve the pressure of the competition, not increase it. A child is easily affected by outside influences.
     
  • Be kind to your child's coach and officials. The coach is a volunteer, giving of personal time and money to provide a recreational activity for your child.
     
  • The opponents are necessary friends. Without them your child could not participate.
     
  • Applaud good plays by your team and members of the opposing team.
     
  • Do not openly question an official's judgment and honesty. Officials are symbols of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship.
      
  • Accept the results of each game. Encourage your child to be gracious in victory, and to turn defeat into victory by working towards improvement.
     
  • Remember your child is involved in organized sports for their enjoyment. NOT YOURS !
     
  • Encourage your child to always play by the rules.
     
  • Teach your child that honest effort is as important as victory so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.
