Code of Conduct
Coaches
Treat players, other parents, coaches, and umpires with the utmost respect at all times.
Be a positive role model. Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with dignity; display emotional maturity.
Use positive encouragement to increase confidence and build self-esteem in your children and foster a respect and appreciation for the sport. Stress the importance of the team play over personal statistics and recognition. Encourage your children to develop good practice and game habits in an effort to continually improve their skills.
Let your words and actions demonstrate a high regard for loyalty to your association and players.
Foster the development of good character by teaching, enforcing, advocating, and modeling high standards of ethics and sportsmanship.
Familiarize yourself with the rules of your sport and teach those rules to your players. Organize fun yet challenging practices.
Always put the safety and well being of your players above the desire to win. Care more about your players than winning the game.
No alcoholic beverages are to be used before or during games and/or practices. This is a direct violation of District 19 rules which will result in immediate ejection from a game.
Coaches and Assistant Coaches are to refrain from tobacco use before and during games/practices to promote a healthy and safe environment for the players.
Respect the facilities. Without them there would not be a place to play.
