Respecting the Officials
When you lose, don't blame the officiating. Assess your performance and take responsibility for it. Of course,
there will be times when referees and officials miss a call. Remember the officials are doing the best they can
and that missed calls are just part of the game—and life. If you disagree with an official's call, don't allow your
anger or disappointment to throw you off your game. Collect yourself and get back into the game mentally.
Always play by the rules.
No amount of complaining or talking will change the referees decision.
Allow the team captain to talk politely with the referee.
Do not be influence by the crowd or parents.
Don't talk trash or tease opponents.
Never swear.
Win or lose, be sure to shake hands with the referee after the game.
