Parents’ Code of Ethics Pledge                 

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in youth sports by following this Parent’s Code of Ethics Pledge.

 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 not place a burden on my child to win games. The purpose of youth sports is to develop positive physical, mental, and social skills.

 I will never argue with or complain about a referee's call or decision.

 I will support efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sports activities.

 I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment. I will support efforts to provide an environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. I will refrain from their use at all youth sports events.

 I will provide support for coaches and officials working with my child by remaining positive to help foster an enjoyable experience for all.

 I will remember that the game is for children, not adults.

 I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.

 I will ask my child to treat all players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect, regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.

 I promise to help my child enjoy the youth sports experience within my personal constraints by assisting with coaching (if possible), being a respectful fan, and providing transportation.

 I will be responsible for myself and my guests to behave responsibly at games and to abide by the Parents’ Code of Ethics Pledge.
