Parents Code of Ethics

I.                   I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win.

II.               I will remember that the games and practices that my child participates in are for him/her and not for me.

III.            I will provide support for all coaches, staff, and all other officials working with my child.

IV.             I will encourage good Christmanship/sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support both by word and actions for all players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of their race, sex, creed or ability.

V.                I will promise to help my child enjoy this sporting experience by not placing added pressure upon my child to perform at any level just to meet my expectations.

VI.             I admit that I do not know or understand all the rules of the game so I will not criticize the officials who are doing their best to facilitate my child's game.

First Friends Church would love for you to consider the following suggestions:

I.                   Please pray regularly for our ministry, league leadership, your child's coaches, and team members.

II.                Please attempt to practice good healthy habits around your child by discouraging the use of tobacco, drugs & alcohol in their lives.  Encourage plenty of rest, especially the night before a game.

1 Corinthians says: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

1 Timothy 2 says "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
 

Thank you for your help in our ministry to your family.  May God richly bless you during this season and beyond!!!
