KEEPING PARENTS INFORMED
Parents Code of Conduct
THE PROGRAM’S EXPECTATIONS OF ITS PARENTS
-The level of support given to a participant by the parents will have a
measured impact as to the success of each player. To better understand the
parent’s role and involvement in the program, we have developed the
following guidelines and recommendations:
•Parents and visitors at practices and games must stay in designated areas
reserved for the spectators. Sideline areas on game day and the practice
fields are off limits unless the parent has been asked to be involved in
some aspect of the practice or game.
•Parents are encouraged to cheer for their teams from the stands with
enthusiasm but should never yell obscenities or derogatory remarks aimed at
the opponents or conduct themselves in an offensive manner. As a result of
such action, a team can be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and the fan
may be removed from the grounds.
•A large number of people are needed to help the program run smoothly. Each
parent is asked to volunteer a portion of his or her time during the season
to help make the program run efficiently.
•It is the parent’s responsibility to provide transportation to and from
practice and games.
•If a participant's grades are unsatisfactory or homework starts to become a
problem, the parent should notify the head coach and together determine the
best course of action to be taken.
•Parents should always maintain a cooperative attitude towards coaches,
participants, officials and board members. Remember, all are volunteers.
PARENT/COACH COMMUNICATION
-Parents are as important to the success of the football team. Coaches and
parents must work together. Please keep the coaches informed about problems
or issues that may have an impact on your child’s behavior or physical
restrictions. If your child has been sick, taking medication, or
experiencing emotional trauma, please make sure the coaches are made aware
of the problem as soon as possible. Parents and coaches must communicate
with mutual respect and cooperation. Many Dolphin communications are
provided by email or posting to our website at www.westkendalldolphins.org.
This handbook serves as an attempt to reduce the number of emails and to
establish expectations. We will also provide information at practices to the
players verbally and/or in hard copy. In addition, each team will be
appointing a team manager to handle last-minute notifications and other
business.
