COACH'S CODE OF CONDUCT


COACHES MUST:

  • Strive to teach, coach and play by the "spirit" of the rules rather than by the "letter" of the rule. 
  • Spread this philosophy-"ROOT FOR YOUR TEAM-NOT AGAINST THEIR TEAM"
  • Remember: the programs are primarily for the youth-not for the coaches and parents.
  • Adhere to and work within the framework of the volunteer coach's criteria and dismissal policy.
  • Treat facilities and equipment with respect.
