GSYSL Parents Code of Ethics For the parents:
The role that parents play in the life of a
soccer player has a tremendous impact on their experience. With this in
mind, we have taken some time to write down some helpful reminders for all
of us as we approach the upcoming season. If you should have any questions
about these thoughts, please feel free to discuss it with us, the coaches.
1. Let the coach’s coach: Leave the
coaching to the coaches. This includes motivating, psyching your child for
practice, after game critiquing, setting goals, requiring additional
training, etc. You have entrusted the care of your player to these coaches
and they need to be free to do their job. If a player has too many coaches,
it is confusing for him and his performance usually declines.
2. Support the program: Get
involved. Volunteer. Help out with fundraisers, car-pool, anything to
support the program.
3. Be you child's best fan: Support
your child unconditionally. Do not withdraw love when your child performs
poorly. Your child should never have to perform to win your love.
4. Support and root for all players on the
team: Foster teamwork. Your child's teammates are not the enemy. When they
are playing better than your child, your child now has a wonderful
opportunity to learn.
5. Do not bribe or offer incentives: Your
job is not to motivate. Leave this to the coaching staff. Bribes will
distract your child from properly concentrating in practice and game
situations.
6. Encourage your child to talk with the
coaches: If your child is having difficulties in practice or games, or can't
make a practice, etc., encourage them to speak directly to the coaches. This
"responsibility taking" is a big part of becoming a big-time player. By
handling the off-field tasks, your child is claiming ownership of all
aspects of the game - preparation for as well as playing the game.
7. Understand and
display appropriate game behavior: Remember, your child's self esteem and
game performance is at stake. Be supportive, cheer, and be appropriate. To
perform to the best of his
