Integrity, Self
Control and Respect
Integrity
Players, coaches and spectators represent not only
themselves, but the Shaler community. As individuals, and as a group,
nobody wants to have a reputation for being obnoxious. Remember, it is not
whether you win or lose, it's how you play or view the game. Foster good
sportsmanship. Keep your perspective. It's only a game.
Self Control
Situations will occur when our own
players/coaches/spectators, referees, or the opposing team's
players/coaches/spectators actions may not be to our liking. Examples may be
a call missed by the ref, a push or shove by the opponent, or a spectator
making a rude comment. Remember to keep your temper under control before
behaving in a way which would not only make you look bad, but it affects
everyone associated with Shaler. Players, when you retaliate by going after
another player, you are likely to be the one who will get the penalty.
Everyone makes mistakes, including referees. No one likes to be yelled at,
criticized and humiliated…especially in public. Players, coaches and
spectators have their roles, but losing your control with the opposing team
or referees is not one of them. If a dispute occurs, discuss the situation
before or after the game for clarification in a calm manner.
Respect
Players/coaches/parents need to respect each other and
their opponents. You may not like someone, but you are better served to keep
negative comments, insults and actions to yourself rather than starting a
verbal rant which tends to lead to a fight. Treat others as you would
like to be treated. Behave positively and in a respectful manner with
your comments and actions for all concerned.
