• Promote and publicize your programs; seek out financial support when possible.
• Communicate with parents by holding parent/player orientation meetings as well as by being available to answer questions and address problems throughout the season.
• Work to provide programs that encompass fairness to the participants and promote fair play and sportsmanship.
• Recruit volunteers, including coaches, who demonstrate qualities conducive to being role models to the youth in our sport.
• Encourage coaches and officials to attend USA Hockey clinics and advise your board members of the necessity for their training sessions.
• Make every possible attempt to provide everyone, at all skill levels, with a place to play.
• Read and be familiar with the contents of the USA Hockey Annual Guide and USA Hockey’s official playing rules.
