A parent or guardian's expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on a child's attitude towards other players, officials, managers, coaches, other parents and executive members.
As a parent/guardian I will:
- Exhibit good sportsmanship at all times, never condone violations of the rules of the game or exhibit behaviour contrary to the spirit of the game.
- Place the well-being and safety of each player above all considerations.
- Not make abusive remarks to any official, player, parent, coach, team support staff, volunteer or executive member.
- Seek clarification of what is expected of me within the Avalon Minor Football organization.
- Respect and show appreciation for the trained volunteers, coaches, officials, managers and trainers and remember that children learn best by example.
- Not use any wide-spread social media communication channels (email, texting, facebook, etc.) to communicate any offensive, abusive or insulting remarks towards any other player, official, parent, coaches, team support staff or executive members.
- Respect the designated smoking areas at all Avalon Minor Football functions, including practices, games and team building events.
- Acknowledge that the use of illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol is not acceptable within the Avalon Minor Football where minors are in attendance.
