Westshore Basketball strongly believes in creating a safe and respectful environment for all our players, officials, operational staff, coaching staff, parents and spectators.


FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS
• I will remember that my child plays sport for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.
• I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to
         hostility or violence.
• I will teach my child that doing one’s best is as important as winning, so my child will never
         feel defeated by the outcome of a game/event.
• I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly
         and trying hard.
• I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
• I will remember that children learn best by example.  I will applaud good players’
         performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.
• I will not force my child to participate in sports.
• I will never question the official’s judgment or honesty in public.
• I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s
         sporting activities.
• I will respect and show appreciation for the trained volunteer coaches who give their time to
         provide sport activities for my child, understanding I have the responsibility to be a part of my
         child’s development.
