Fair Play Code for Coaches

I will be reasonable when scheduling games and practices, remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations.

I will teach my athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials and opponents

I will ensure that all athletes get equal instruction, support and playing time.

I will not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or performing poorly. I will remember that children play to have fun and must encourage them to have confidence in themselves.

 

I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the athletes' ages and abilities. 

 

I will remember that children need a coach they can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example. 

 

I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills
