Any parent guilty of improper conduct at any game or practice will be asked to leave the sports facility and be suspended from the following game. Repeat violations may cause a multiple game suspension, or the season forfeiture of the privilege of attending all games. I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice, or other youth sports event. I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win. I will support the implementation of character development values: caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and inclusion. I will refrain from using foul or derogatory language at practices and games, and I will not speak to coaches or staff disrespectfully. I will respect coaches and staff by remaining in the area designated for spectators. I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all YMCA youth sports events. I will remember that the game is for youth - not for adults. I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan or assisting with coaching. I will teach my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability. I will remember all coaches are volunteers, dedicating many hours to help children. I will treat them with respect. If I have suggestions or wish to discuss my child's progress with them, I will do so before or after practice or a game. I will try to have my child on time to practices and games. I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in youth sports by following this Parents' Code of Conduct.
