Parents' Code of Ethics | ||||||
I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in youth sports by following this Parents' Code of Ethics Pledge. I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating postive support for all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice or other youth sports event. I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead for my personal desire to win. I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment. I will require that my child's coach be trained in the responsibilities of being a youth sports coach and that the coach upholds the Coaches' Code of Ethics. I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol and will refrain from their use at all youth sports events. I will remember that the game is for youth - not adults. I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child. I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability. I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting with coaching or providing transportation. I will read the National Standards For Youth Sports and do what I can to help all youth sports organization implement and enforce them. _________________________ _________________________ _______________ Parent Signature Parent Signature Date |
