Please note that all players/parents/coaches need to abide by the rules as set out by the Morinville Youth Basketball Association.

As a parent I will:

Remember that my child plays sport for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.

Encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.

Teach my child that doing one’s best is as important as winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game/event.

Make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly and trying hard.

Never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.  

Remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good player’s performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.

Not force my child to participate in sports.

Never question the official’s judgment.

Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.

Respect and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child, understanding that I have a responsibility to be a part of my child’s development.

Supervise all my children that attend the game that I am watching. I will not let any of my children run in hallways at any school.

I will be on my best behavior at all times and will not use profane language or harass players, coaches, referees, league administrators or volunteers.

I will not wear my street shoes in the gymnasium.

I will not eat or drink (besides water) in the gymnasium, and should anybody else do that, I will advise them otherwise. We all love our morning coffee, but we must have it finished before school entry.

I will help clean up the gym so that MYBA won’t lose access to any of them.
