Code for Skating Parents

➢    Treat the facilties, it’s employees and all other visitors with care and respect.  The use of
        abusive, threatening, dangerous, criminal or violent behavior and foul or abusive language is
        not permitted anywhere in the building or grounds.

➢    Place the well being and safety of their child above the training.  Do not force your child to
        participate in sport, but do support their desire to participate in their chosen sport. Remember,
        they should skate for their enjoyment, not to please you.

➢    Be courteous to other parents, skaters, coaches, league officials, rink employees and visitors at
        all times.

➢    Insist that your child abides by the Players Code of Conduct and all match rules. 
       Attempts to gain competitive advantage through improper gamesmanship techniques will not be
        tolerated.

➢    Not approach or otherwise distract coaches or skaters during scheduled skating matches or
        training sessions.  Coaches are not expected to leave the ice for consultation during a session
        unless it is an emergency. Coaches time is valuable! Coaches deserve the full attention of the
        skaters and parents.

➢    Exercise control and restraint when dealing with difficult issues.  The use of abusive,
        threatening or violent behavior and foul or abusive language in or around the ground of the
        skating rink is strictly prohibited.

➢    Never in public question the judges decision making and never their honesty.

➢    Never ridicule or humiliate their child or others for making mistakes or for under performing.
        ‘Remember, winning isn’t everything, doing your best is’.

        sportsmanship.
