Mission Statement To provide a safe and healthful environment in which youth may experience the fun of playing basketball / cheerleading / football and to develop the basic concepts of competition within the framework of good sportsmanship. To teach basic fundamentals of the game of basketball / cheerleading / football. To teach (by word and example) that to give one's best, regardless of circumstances, always produces a winner. To involve adults in helping achieve the above purposes whether as parents, coaches, officials, advisors, fans or timekeepers. Coaches Code of Ethics I will place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win. I will treat each player as an individual, remembering the large range of emotional and physical development for the same age group. I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.
I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players. I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players. I will be knowledgeable in the rules of each sport that I coach, and I will teach these rules to my players. I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for all of the skills that I teach. I will remember that I am a youth sports coach, and that the game is for children and not adults. © National Alliance for Youth Sports Parents Code of Ethics I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive 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 of 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 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. © National Alliance for Youth Sports |
