Parents and Guardians of Spikes players are also expected to ahere to some very ethical guidlines. Here are the Spikes "Parents Codes of Conduct" as if they were being spoken to you by the Teams's Head Coach:
1.Please cheer for your child, but refrain from yelling at them. During games, please realize I will be instructing them, so please don’t compete with me for their attention. Please be encouraging and cheer for both teams, but don’t yell ‘instructions’. That’s my job. Thanks!
2.The kids that play more are the ones that are at practice regularly, have a good attitude, have developed the skills to play at this level, can perform & understand the positions they are asked to play, are in shape, and are attentive. I will begin analyzing each player and placing them in appropriate positions where I feel they will have the greatest success (and most likely not get hurt). Every player will play, but no amount of time is guaranteed in any particular game and in anyway.
3.Please don’t yell at the umpires. Again, that’s my job. They will make mistakes that are part of the game. We emphasize to the players that the umpires do NOT decide the outcome of the game, our team’s level of competitiveness does. At this age, I am not as concerned with the outcome of the game as I am learning about competing, playing to their best ability, being good sports, and having fun!
4.If you have a problem with me, anyone of my staff, another parent, the umpire, or anyone else, please talk to me first. Please do this AFTER a practice, at a scheduled time, or if during a tourney, AFTER the last game of the day.
5.All players should do ‘home-work’. They are expected to practice outside of scheduled team events. In other words, spend time with your player repeating the skills taught at every practice & game. Repetition is the key to learning and fine tuning the skills they are taught!
6.All games and practices are “Drug-Free” Zones. No smoking or chewing at games or practices. Please refrain from consuming alcohol during practice times & game times. Remember, the kids are always “learning” from us adults.
