10 PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT At Inspire Allstars our vision is very clear: The child comes first and the sport comes second. We are committed to supporting the positive development of young people through the activity of cheerleading. Good sportsmanship occurs when team mates, opponents, coaches and officials treat each other with respect. Children learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and coaches. Children who see adults behaving in a sportsmanlike way gradually come to understand that the real winners in sports are those who know how to persevere and to behave with dignity - no matter where they place. Parents and guardians can help their children understand that good sportsmanship includes both small gestures and heroic efforts. It starts with something as simple as saying hello or waving at another team before a competition and includes acknowledging the talents of other teams and accepting bad calls gracefully. Displaying good sportsmanship isn t always easy: it can be tough to congratulate the apposing team when you haven t placed where you thought you should have, but children who learn how to do it will benefit in many ways. A child who practices good sportsmanship is likely to carry the respect and appreciation of others into every other aspect of life. Without constant reminders and good examples children may forget what behaviours are appropriate at competitions and in the gym. Adults who emphasise good sportsmanship see winning as just one of the goals they d like their children to achieve; they help athletes take pride in their accomplishments and improving their skills so that the children see themselves as winners, even if the score sheets do not show numbers going in their favour. Your behaviour and actions and practice and competition will influence them more than any pep talk you give. Here are some guidelines that we expect Inspire Allstars parents to follow in order to help us do our job with the athletes: Unless you are coaching the team, please remember that you are a parent. Shout words of encouragement rather than directions! Keep comments positive; don t bad mouth coaches, athletes or competition officials. If you have a serious concern about the way practices or competitions are being conducted or you are upset about another parent/coach/official s behaviour please discuss this privately with the Head Coach. At competitions applaud good routines, no matter who they are. Set a good example with your courteous behaviour towards the parents and athletes on other teams congratulating their children when they win. Keep it in perspective; it is just Cheer and Dance. These are activities that your child choses to participate in because they are fun and enjoy the activity. Look for good examples of sportsmanship in professional athletes and point them out to your children. Talk about bad examples too and why they upset you. I have read and agree to abide by the above code of conduct NAME SIGNED DATE Adapted from the International Cheerleading Coalition s Sportsmanship contract for coaches and parents.
