At Seaside, we foster a competitive, developmental and fun culture for our young players. To assist us in enhancing our culture, parents are required to abide by Seaside’s Parent Code of Conduct.

1. I WILL let the coaches coach: I will respect the coach, the coaching staff and the decisions they make – I will not coach my child in volleyball unless I am one of the designated coaches.
2. I WILL support effective communication and conflict resolution: I will encourage my child to deal with any team issues by speaking to the coach directly – if unresolved, I will address any issues directly with the coach, and if speaking with the coach does not resolve the situation, reach out to the Seaside Liason assigned to your team.
3. I WILL help out where I can: I will do my part and commit to volunteer and assist our team when asked, making time whenever I can.
4. I WILL familiarize myself with all the codes: I will review the club’s player & coach’s code of conduct and the rules of the game myself and with my child.
5. I WILL be accountable: I will ensure that my child respects the team rules regarding getting to practice on time, curfew for road trips and general game etiquette – I will do the same.
6. I WILL be a positive role model: I will be a positive role model for sportsmanship and courtesy to the team and other club coaches, officials, players and parents – I will refrain from negative behaviour including taunting, booing or using profanity towards others at games, events and practices.
7. I WILL respect others in our game: I will respect officials during games and the decisions they make – I will represent Seaside to other clubs and tournament administrators in a professional and respectful manner.
8. I WILL support safe and healthy practices: I will refrain from and discourage any behaviours or practices that could endanger my child or their teammates – I will inform the coaches of any ailments or injuries that may impede or obstruct my child’s participation.
9. I WILL be my child’s parent: I will not expect the coach to parent my child. That’s my job.
10. I WILL always remember it’s about having fun: I will not force my child to play volleyball, they will play because they want to play – I will encourage my child to work hard and have fun – I will remind them often that I love to watch them play!
11. I WILL live and model the core values of the club
