Coaches Code Of Ethics

 I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my 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 for the same age group.

 I will take reasonable measures to honor all commitments to athletes.

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

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

 I will lead by example by demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship for all my players.

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

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

 I will be knowledgeable in the rules of girls' basketball and I will teach these rules to my players.

 I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for each of the skills that I teach.

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