Players Code of Ethics

I hereby pledge to be positive about my youth sports experiences and accept responsibility for my participation by following this Players’ Code of Ethics pledge:

1. I will encourage good sportsmanship from fellow players, coaches, officials and parents at every practice and game that I can, and will notify my coach if I cannot.
2. I will attend every practice and game that I can, and will notify my coach if I cannot.

3. I will expect to receive a fair and equal amount of playing time. I will do my very best to listen and learn from my coaches. I will treat my coaches, other players, officials and fans with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or abilities and I will expect to be treated accordingly.
4. I deserve to have fun during my sports experience and will alert parents or coaches if it stops being fun.
5. I deserve to play in an environment that is free of drugs, tobacco and alcohol and expect adults to refrain for their use at all youth sports events.
6. I will encourage my parents to be involved with my team in some capacity because it is important to me.
7. I will do my very best in school.
8. I will remember that sports is an opportunity to learn and have fun.
