Parent Code of Conduct

The Plainfield Titans seek to instill positive character-building traits in our communities’ youth through the demonstration of good sportsmanship, respect for others, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship.  We ask that parents and their guests attending Plainfield Titan sponsored events help us by reflecting these character traits at games.

When attending any Plainfield Titan sponsored events, I therefore agree:

·         I will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game, practice or other sporting event.

·         I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing, taunting or using profane language or gestures, etc.

·         I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and wellbeing of the athletes.

·         I will teach my child to play by the spirit of the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.

·         I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, sex, or ability.

·         I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for making a mistake or losing a competition.

·         I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss, or confront coaches or referees at the game field, and will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place.

·         I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.

·         I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.

I also agree that if I fail to abide by the aforementioned rules and guidelines, I will be subject to disciplinary action that could include, but is not limited to the following:

§  Verbal warning by official, head coach, and/or member of the Plainfield Titan Board

§  Written warning

§  Parental game suspension with written documentation of incident

Parental season suspension

________________________________________________________________________________

Please also be aware that practice is mandatory for all players. If your child is absent from practice, do not expect them to play during the game. If your child will be absent from practice or game it is your responsibility to notify your child’s coach. We do not want to forfeit any games due to participants not attending games or arriving late.

By signing your child up for the Plainfield Titans you agree to abide by the code of conduct set forth.
