Coaches Code of Conduct
I will be reasonable when scheduling practices and other events, remembering that young athletes have
other interests and obligations.
I will teach my athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials and opponents and encourage
them to be good sports.
I will remind my athletes that winning a game or a trophy isn’t the only measure of success.
I will ensure that ALL athletes get appropriate instruction, support and playing time.
I will not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or for performing poorly.
I will encourage my athletes, offer constructive criticism, and maintain a positive attitude.
I will remember that athletes play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in
themselves.
I will remember that children need a coach they can respect.
I will remember to set a good example as actions speak louder than words.
I will maintain a supportive attitude and I will be generous with praise and set a good example.
I will not use bad language, nor will I harass or heckle athletes, coaches, umpires, other spectators, or
Club officials by way of emails, voice messages, text messages (including “tweeting”) and social network
postings.
I will demonstrate respect and comply with the umpires’ decisions and decisions of the Discipline
Committee. I understand that while I can request an umpire clarify/discuss a ruling, the final decision
rests with the Umpire.
