Parent Pledge of Conduct ​​​​​​​

Understanding that parents/caregivers are the singular most important role model for their children, I agree to:

* Maintain and display self-control while attending practices, games or tournaments in which my child is participating; 

* Give positive encouragement from the sidelines, because it is the best way to support the team and my child's athletic endeavours;

* Teach my child to play by the rules, respect game officials and respect others, because it is as important as learning the skills necessary to successfully play a sport; 

* Recognise that the Coach or Manager can best represent the team when dealing with the umpire. 

* Papakura Royals Softball Club is about the kids developing a sense of teamwork, sportsmanship and self esteem and learning the skills of the game, and I fully support these ideals.
