As a Player for the NYAA, I agree to:
* Respect my coaches. I will always give my maximum effort to my team by doing the best job that I can. I will follow team and NYAA rules and work with my coaches to improve my level of play.
* Respect my team members and other players. I will not insult or criticize any other player. I will display teamwork at all times.

Code of Conduct for Parents
As a Parent of a player in the NYAA, I agree to:
* Respect all coaches. Head and Assistant Coaches are volunteers who donate their time and expertise to the NYAA. My appreciation of their efforts is essential to ensuring a willing and ample supply of coaches in the program. I will take practices and games seriously by making sure that my child is available and on time as scheduled. I will collect my child in a timely manner when practices and games are finished.
* Respect all players. All players are contributors to a team and should be positively encouraged by all parents. I will not engage in insults or criticisms of players.
* Follow proper channels to resolve any disputes. The NYAA is willing to assist any parent that has a problem with any of its programs. If I have an issue or problem, I understand that I should approach the coaches of my child’s team, the NYAA president, any individual member of the Board or the entire Board to address it. No parent should ever feel that the NYAA is unapproachable.
* Display good sportsmanship and be a positive role model at all times. The children are learning to become team players and work toward a common goal. I will always be non-judgmental in my support for their attempts and their outcomes. I understand that my behavior influences all children in the NYAA and I will ensure that it is a positive influence.
* Be a contributor to the NYAA. I will volunteer in some aspect of the program. I will support NYAA activities to help build a stronger NYAA for future children.
* Appreciate that the NYAA is striving to provide the best baseball program for my children. The NYAA’s programs are intended to provide learning and fun experiences for all players. I will relax and enjoy the youth baseball experience.
Code of Conduct for Coaches
As a Head or Assistant Coach in the NYAA, I agree to:
* Respect all coaches. I will respect my fellow coaches and their teams. I will cooperate with and support my fellow coaches throughout the season. I will keep competition on the field and not make derogatory, intemperate, confrontational, profane, or negative personal remarks about any other coach, team, player, or parent.
* Respect all players. I will offer constructive criticism balanced with compliments. I recognize that all players are contributors to my team and will treat them all fairly and equitably within the rules.
* Respect all parents. I recognize that baseball is a big committment for parents. I will keep my team's parents informed as often as possible to ensure that the whole team is pulling in the same direction.
* Follow proper channels to resolve any disputes. I understand that I am not alone in my position as a coach. I have a strong organization to assist me in the resolution of problems, issues, or disputes. If they arise, I will discuss problems with other Coaches, the player(s), the parents, or Board members as necessary.
* Display good sportsmanship and be a positive role model at all times. I understand that the players are learning to be good sportsmen and team players and are quick to copy all behavior they see on the field, particularly that of me in my position as a coach. In addition to showing respect for all coaches, teams, players, and parents, I will respectfully take care of the playing fields, facilities and equipment that we use.
* Be a positive contributor to the NYAA. I will be a positive and caring influence and an encouraging force in teaching the lessons of team play through baseball to all the players I encounter.
