Player’s Commitment
➢ I come to the rink ready to have fun and grow my game. I am always on time and ready to play. I am never a distraction to my coaches or teammates. I refrain from dangerous, disruptive conduct, including rudeness, fighting, bullying, poor team play and disrespect of teammates, opponents and coaches.
➢ I play for the logo on the front of my jersey, not the name on the back. I refrain from conduct that is in poor taste, including poor sportsmanship, harassing teammates, coaches, officials or spectators. I will protect and grow Sun Valley Youth Hockey’s reputation in the hockey community and the community at-large.
➢ I love and respect the game. I will work hard to improve my skills, become a better version of myself, and help support my teammates. Even if I disagree with a teammate or a coach, I will trust the process, and I will make teamwork, sportsmanship and discipline the foundation of my game.
➢ I respect my coaches, teammates, parents, opponents and officials. My coaches are here to make me and my teammates better. My parents sacrifice time and money for me to play. Without dedicated opponents and officials, I would not be able to play the game and I respect them.
➢ As a Sun Valley Youth Hockey athlete, I am substance free. I will not attend SVYH practices, games, tournaments or any other activities after having consumed alcoholic beverages or drugs. I will not use vaporizers or tobacco products at SVYH events.
Parent’s Commitment
➢ I do not force my child to play hockey, but I support their desire to play, and I encourage my child to have fun. I understand that the value of life lessons, and intangible skills gained from the sport are more important than the sport itself.
➢ I realize that hockey is for my child’s enjoyment. I do not embarrass my child by showing up to SVYH events intoxicated, yelling at players, coaches or officials, and exhibiting behavior that makes others uncomfortable.
➢ I respect and support coaches in their role in the development of my child and the sport. I support and respect coaches’ decisions and abilities and do not put my child in the unfair position of having to decide who to listen to – the coach or me.
➢ I encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches and officials at every game and practice. I demand me and my child to treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.
➢ I pay my tuition and fees to SVYH and my team on time and when requested, and if I have a serious concern, I will address the Director to follow up with grievance procedures.
