Parents Page
1. Positive parental participation is encouraged at all times through consistent recognition that:
a. Each player on a team represents a varying degree of talent and/or ability and the principal means of improvement is through enthusiastic recognition of his/her effort.
b.
The officials are amateurs who are volunteering their time towards the
success of the league. Vocal
criticism of official performance based upon hearsay, interpretation of rules,
your concern for the officials’ eyesight or dismay with a particular call
made against your child’s team, detract from the game.
c.
The coach is responsible for developing individual player skills and
team play. If you have a concern,
confide in private with the coach.

As a parent you are encouraged to prevent the latter from happening
