All supporters of HBHS teams should consider the following:

• Sport is about having a positive attitude. You can assist in setting a positive tone and help to make sport an enjoyable experience

• Encourage your son, and other boys in his team, in their efforts in the sporting arena.

• Insist that your son plays within the rules of the game and by the principles of Fairplay, irrespective of the manner in which the opposition may play the game.

• Being part of a team is a commitment; assist your son to live up to his commitments. Do not accept your son letting his team mates and coaches down.

• Ensure your son attends all practices and is well turned in the correct playing uniform for games.

• Watch your son play whenever possible. Make an effort to understand the game and its’ rules

• Display self-control on the sideline. Do not shout at or ridicule any officials or players on either team.

• Remember your son is playing sport for his reasons not yours.

• Respect your son’s efforts regardless of whether he wins, draws or loses.

• Show respect for the coach and management of your son’s team. They have a difficult job and do not need interference or negative comments from observers.
