How to watch kids play

Have fun.

Try to have fun watching your children's games


Self-control.

You already are a fortunate person having a child able to practice a sport. If you suffer the games, try not to lose control.

Let them play.

Many children do not play as well when they receive instructions from their parents, when they listen to their criticisms and see their disapproving gestures. Your child will perform better if you as a parent behave politely and with discretion.

Watch and enjoy.

Players and coaches are the protagonists of the matches.

Respect the game authorities.

Please be respectful of the referees, try to be a good example in your behavior, even if you share your decisions.

Keep your cool.

If the parents of the opposing team behave poorly, do not make the same mistake. Do not get up to it.
