What can you do to helpthe program, and your
son to achieve success?

Support coaching staff even if you dont agree
with them. The importance of support is so the
kids stay positive, and be team players. Anegative parent makes a negative player, andhurts player attitude more than helps. A negativeattitude can also cause conflict and teaching
ability between player-coach. You may not agreewith everything we do, but it is important thatyour child not hear you talk negative. Also, manytimes a child will tell their parents something,
because they think that is what their parentwants to hear.

Dont coach your son. That is the job of the
coaching staff. When a parent teaches their child
one thing and the coaching staff another, theplayer gets confused. The player has to be ableto play within the team scheme.
Remember, your child is still a kid. Let them bekids 1st, and enjoy the sport as a high schoolactivity. Sports are part of their education. Manylessons are learned, and used the rest of their
lives.

Dont talk about other players in a negative way.
This hurts TEAM moral more than you think. It
teaches a kid to judge, not support theirteammates. Remember: The team is bigger thanthe individual player.
Success is based on improvement, and work putforth. Not on win/loss record, or individual stats.
Be courteous to the officials, and opposing
players.
