CAHA Parent Education
New CAHA requirement this year There is a
issue, that we can improve
with Education
2
Parent Education
Referees - are people too, humans make
mistakes - it will not help the team or the
coach to yell about calls - sometimes they are
learning also - sometime they are some ones
child, and the parent is there watching also -
if the players hears you ever blaming refs, they
will also - coaches will be very upset with a
bench penalty
3
Parent Education
Your Players - let the coaches do the coaching,
never coach from the stands - dont coach other
people kids - dont yell negative comments
regarding other players, either team - dont
ask your child to coach other kids - they
really cant hear you only that you are
yelling - make the car ride home pleasant -
understand development spurts and plateaus will
happen - the NHL scouts will never see your
child's PeeWee stats - you can burn them out on
the sport - you do not need to go to Denver to
develop top hockey talent
4
Parent Education
Coaches - are volunteers, giving a tremendous
commitment to your children - we invest a lot
in training in them - make mistakes too -
must have the latitude to make decisions, with in
boundaries - respect the 24 hour rule -
questions -gtcall Bob, cards are in the lobby and
at the front desk - please give them your
complete support
5
Parent Education
Encouragement vs Criticism - Do you remember
the last compliment you gave your child's
teammates? - Do you remember the last pure
compliment you gave your own child? - Ask Was
it fun? or Was it a good game?, never ask did
you win?
Remember it takes 5 positive comments to negate
1 negative comment Relax, enjoy the experience,
it will be over to soon.
