To our GUESTS/SPECTATORS/COACHES

  • Remember that you are at a contest to support your son or daughter and cheer for your team and to enjoy the skill and competition; not to intimidate or ridicule the other team and its fans.
  • Remember that MYC games are supposed to be a learning experience for our children and that mistakes are sometimes made.
  • Praise our children, please refrain from taunting or any negative comments that could lead to hurt feelings.
  • Learn the rules of the game so that you may understand and appreciate why certain situations take place or a call is made.
  • Respect the integrity and judgment of game officials, even if you disagree with their judgment, it will give a positive impression of you and our program and most importantly our children.
  • Show respect for opposing players, coaches and spectators. Treat them as you would treat a welcomed guest in your own home.
  • Recognize and show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.
  • Be a positive role model through your own actions and by censuring those around you whose behavior is unbecoming.
