Parent Code of Conduct

· As the parent/legal guardian of an athlete participating in the Lutheran South Hockey Club, I understand that I am the best and most trusted example my child can observe and learn from on how to conduct oneself. Knowing this, I will encourage my child to adhere to the Player Code of Conduct and, through my actions, demonstrate the value of respect and being a supportive member of the team and organization. 

· I will avoid speaking/shouting verbal insults that could hurt, demean, or abuse any Official, Coach, Parent, or Player. At no time will I instigate any physical contact/confrontation with any Official, Coach, Parent or Player. I will maintain a positive mindset toward the game and all its participants to fulfill my role as a parent and role model, enriching the game environment and the high school hockey experience for all Lutheran South Hockey Club athletes. 

· I will refrain from criticizing the Officials to set a good example of sportsmanship for my child, his/her teammates, and other parents. I commit to learning/studying the rules that Mid-States Gateway Hockey, USA/MO Hockey has instituted to be a better-informed parent and spectator. 

· I will abstain from publicly decrying the decisions of the coaching staff before, during, and after games, practices, or other Lutheran South Hockey Club events. Should I have a concern with any of the methods/tactics/choices the coaching staff are instituting I will adhere to the 24-hour rule of ‘no contact’ and then utilize the Coaching Director to facilitate a conversation with the coaching staff.

I recognize that any violation of the above stated Parent Code of Conduct while in attendance at any Lutheran South Hockey Club game, practice, event, or public setting will result in an immediate meeting with the Lutheran South Hockey Club Board of Directors to be scheduled to discuss my violation(s) and determine my future game, practice, or event attendance.
