•  Always be positive and enthusiastic.
•  Show your child positive reinforcement.
•  Observe practices and games in order to learn proper techniques. In between  practices and games you and your child can continue to work on enhancing their skills  from what was taught from the last practice.
•  Encourage your child towards skill improvement and good sportsmanship.
•  Teach your child to always play by the rules.
•  Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than  victory.
•  Applaud good plays by the opposing team and by members of your childs team as  well.
•  Let the managers and coaches do the coaching.
•  Let the umpire be the umpire. Reserve your opinion, remember to set good examples.

Recognize that the umpire is the closest to the play and that each umpire will "call them as they see them". The umpire is often (in most cases) a volunteer parent who has assumed often a very difficult, but necessary role.

The Role of the Parent
Parents play a very important role in helping to shape a positive experience for players, coaches, umpires, and other parents as well! To help you understand the key role parents play in the Jewel City JWV Little League, the following excerpt was taken from the

"Official Regulations and Playing Rules of National Little League Baseball":

"The parents of millions of Little Leaguers, combined with their youngsters, league officials, umpires, managers, coaches, auxiliary members and countless volunteer agencies including sponsors, represent an imposing cross section of this nation.

Parents should accept the fact that they must shoulder responsibility and take initiative to make the local program successful. Little League is not a club in which membership implies baby-sitting benefits and entertainment privileges for your children.

Practically speaking, Little League is an adult, volunteer work project constructed, supervised and assisted by parents who desire to make its benefits extend to their children.

Each parent should join in the total effort. There is a place and a job to do for all. The burden of operating the League should not fall on a few. The parent who shirks this responsibility cannot, in turn, expect others to assume the burden."
