Bemidji Youth Hockey Association  

Parent Code of Conduct

  1. I will be on time. If I cannot be on time, we will alert the coaches beforehand.
  2. I understand that yelling at the players, refs, or coaches during the game reflects poorly upon myself, my kid, and the organization. 
  3. I realize that my attitude and my conversation with my kid on the car ride home can have a significant positive or negative effect on their development. 
  4. I recognize that when I have a disagreement with the coach, healthy communication is essential. I will exercise the 24-hour rule. My kid should also be involved with the initial communication. 
  5. I will encourage my kid to play because he/she loves the game. 
  6. I acknowledge that negative parent gossip can be toxic for a team’s culture. The blame game and/or ridiculing the coach or players will not be tolerated. If I hear this, I will do my best to stop it. I recognize that the parent culture is just as important to our team’s success as our player culture. 
  7. I appreciate that youth hockey is meant to be fun and I will foster a positive environment for my kid and for the team. 
  8. I will make every effort to make sure my kid attends all practices and games. I will give proper notification to the coach if we are unable to attend.
  9. I will be a good support for other parents that may need guidance or help throughout the year. 
  10. I understand that my behavior at the rink, and away from the rink on road trips, reflects upon myself, my kid, and the organization.
