Conduct Message
IT IS A CLICHÉ THESE DAYS TO SAY "BE A GOOD SPORT" OR " SET A GOOD EXAMPLE" . IN FACT, THESE "CLICHÉ'S" HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE MEANINGFUL OR RELEVANT. WE AT ST. ROSE CYO ARE DEDICATED TO SEEING OUR CHILDREN HAVE A POSITIVE, ENRICHING SPORTS EXPERIENCE. WE WANT TO HELP BUILD OUR CHILDREN’S SENSE OF SELF WORTH WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TEACHING THEM HOW TO BE GOOD SPORTS.
CHILDREN ARE VERY OBSERVANT. WHAT WE ADULTS DO AND SAY, THEY WILL FOLLOW. IF THE KIDS SEE US YELL AT A REFEREE, THEY WILL THINK IT’S OK TO DO SO. IF WE CRITICIZE THE COACH ON THE CAR RIDE HOME, THE CHILDREN WILL THINK THEY CAN AS WELL. THINGS WE MAY DO WITHOUT THINKING, CAN UNDERMINE WHAT THE COACHES AND REFEREES ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. WE ASK, INSTEAD, THAT YOU SUPPORT YOUR CHILDREN ENTHUSIAST-ICALLY BOTH ON AND OFF THE PLAYING FIELD. REFRAIN, AT ALL TIMES, FROM BEING CRITICAL OF THE COACHES AND OFFICIALS. IF THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO RELAY YOUR FEELINGS TO THEM DO SO AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN AND AWAY FROM ANY GAME SITUATION. PERHAPS A PHONE CALL SOME TIME AFTER THE GAME OR PRACTICE WOULD BE BETTER.
TEN YEARS FROM NOW, OUR CHILDREN WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT THEIR WIN/LOSS RECORD WAS. THEY WILL REMEMBER, HOWEVER, HOW WE TREATED THEM AND HOW WE ACTED TOWARD ONE ANOTHER.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE ST. ROSE CYO GUIDELINES ON CONDUCT AND THE POLICY ON TREATING OFFENDERS TO THIS ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. IT IS OUR SINCERE HOPE THAT WE WILL NEVER NEED TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS. WE HOPE THAT YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY.
