Parent’s Code of Conduct I will be responsible for my behavior as well as for the behavior of those who attend the game/practices as my guest. I will constantly supervise any nonathlete child in attendance with me at a practice or game and will not allow any object to be brought to any game/practice that could be used to harm others. I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other youth sports events. I will place the emotional and physical wellbeing of my child ahead of a personal desire to win. I will be in control of my emotions. I will not use profanity. I will remain in the spectator area during games/practices. I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will not advise the coach on how to do their job. If I have any concerns I will wait at least 24 hours after the incident and then speak privately with the coach. If I am still concerned I will then contact the appropriate team representative to seek resolution. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free of drugs, tobacco (including smoking), and alcohol and will refrain from their use at all youth sports events or attend a game/practice under the influence of such. I will not bring animals other than service animals to any game or practice. I will remember that the game is for our youth – NOT ADULTS – and that participation in youth sports is a privilege, not a right. I will show respect for all participants at all times. I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child. I will not instruct him to harm any other participants. I will not coach my child during the game/practice. I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability. I will not make insulting comments to players, parents, officials, or coaches of either team. I promise to help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectable fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation. I will require that my child’s coach upholds the Coaches Code of Ethics. I will thank coaches, officials, and other volunteers who have conducted the event.
