Coaches Code of Ethics

I will place the emotional and physical well being of all 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 of youth in the same age group.

I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for all players.

I will promise to review and practice basic first aid needed to treat injuries of players.

I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for my players.

I will provide a sports environment for my team that is free of the use of profanity, drugs, tobacco, alcohol and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.

I will be knowledgeable in the rules of baseball/softball and I will teach these rules to my players.

I will use coaching techniques appropriate for all skills and ages.

I will remember that I am a youth sports coach, and that the game is for children and not for adults.
