Parent Policies

Parent commits to making sure their child arrives to games and practices on time. This means arriving at the coach requested time, and not game time, so that their child has enough time to get situated prior to joining the practice or pre-game preparations.
Parent will be sure that their child is properly equipped, rested, sun-protected, hydrated and fueled for practices and games. This includes proper uniforms, gloves, bags and meals.
Parent will show respect for the umpires. They may make the wrong call, but the job of the umpire is not an easy one. Voicing their displeasure will not improve the situation.
Parent will stay away from the field during games and allow coaches to coach. While this is not easy, Parent knows that providing potentially conflicting messages during a game can be confusing to their child and their presence at the dugout may contribute negatively to his ability to focus.
Parent will ensure their child stays with the team during games. Parent knows that showing support for their child’s teammates is important, and leaving the teammates does not allow for additional coaching to be conducted and sends the wrong message to the rest of the team.
Parent will be a role model for their child regarding good sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-worth. These things start with the adults, and the players will behave accordingly. We will take pride in how we carry ourselves and treat others.
Parent is responsible for the behavior of all family members at games and practices. Others may attend games to cheer on their child, and Parent needs to be sure that they also handle themselves according to these rules.
Parent will provide encouragement and support for their child. My child needs to hear their positive encouragement throughout the game.
Parent will provide encouragement and support for all players on the team. As a team, it’s important to provide the same support for their child’s teammates. We are in this together!
Parent will respect the opposing team, coaches, and fans. They are the same as us in many ways, but they simply wear different uniforms. Appreciation for their performance and respect for their abilities will contribute to a positive game environment.
Parent understands that winning is important to the team, but the primary objective is promoting an environment of growth and learning. They will win. They will lose. They will make mistakes. One of the most important things will be what they learn from success and failure.
Parent will support the coach’s message. While Parent may not always agree with the coach, Parent also understand that contradicting the coach’s message is counterproductive.
Parent will help their child embrace his role, no matter what it is. Parent may not agree with where their child hits or plays in the field, but it is important that Parent helps their child embrace and master that role for the best possible experience.
Parent will inform the coaches of any issues that may impact their child’s performance on the team. My child may not always be ready to play due to illness, personal issues or other outside distractions, and for the benefit of their child and others involved, Parent will notify the coach as soon as possible.
Parent will help nurture a positive environment on and off the field. Parent will do their best to keep a positive tone as Parent realizes their reactions impact the team.
Parent will refrain from public complaints about coaching and other players with parents. While Parent may not always agree with how the team is being coached, Parent knows that these reactions do not help. Instead of complaining publicly, Parent will be part of the solution by scheduling a private time with coaches to discuss their concerns.
Parent will offer their help as a volunteer to leverage their skills, where possible. The success of this team is run on the contributions of volunteers, and Parent wants to contribute whatever Parent can to help.
Parent will respect the challenges the coaches face and time commitment they make. Parent knows that coaching is not easy. It’s a significant contribution of time and energy, often with the side effect of stress.
Parent will make payments for team fees as scheduled. Monthly payments are due before 10th of every month to cover coaches payment, practice facilities and more. Additional payment may be charged for tournaments, dress, Admin fee as determined by WCA management.

Parents will be sharing their contact details with the other teammates’ parents for easier collaboration.
