  • Be supportive but do so in a positive way recognising that constant noise does not help the young player

  • Be courteous to all and applaud good play

  • Show respect for officials, coaches and players both on and off the field of play; do not verbally abuse officials, they are just volunteers

  • Enjoy the day yourselves and transmit this to the players

  • Do not force your children to play
