8 PARENT'EXPECTATIONS Please try to get your child to practice and games on time. We know this can be difficult at times and impossible at other times, but it s really hard to conduct practice or get ready for a game when players are not on time. If you know your child will be late or won t be able to make it to practice or a game, please let your team manager know in advance if possible. Please cheer for your child during games, but limit the yelling of instructions to them. It is your child s opportunity to enjoy playing the game. Most of all, parents are to be positive in their support of all players and coaches. Positive support means trust in the coaches that they will make decisions that are in the best interest of the team based on knowledge, experience and insights of the game. If there are issues you need to address with the coaches, ask at any time after a game or practice while also observing the club s 24 Hour Rule.
