Sportsmanship Code

Coaches

This code is to be considered supplemental to each school’s expectation for conduct of its volunteers and agents.

Interscholastic competition exists for students to foster sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork; coaches should set the example of good sportsmanship.

Coaches must complete all requirements for coaching as set forth by its’ school.

Coaches are to comply with all school and league rules and directives, as they are the designated agents of the school. Every child is equally important.

Coaches must make every effort to insure that players receive a fair amount of playing time, but it is not required to have equal playing time.

Coaches should always conduct themselves as an example of good sportsmanship, both at the field/court and away from it.

Coaches should be supportive and encouraging in everything they do and say; they should never assault others verbally or in writing.

Coaches should address concerns to officials in a calm manner during dead ball situations.

Coaches should address their players in a manner consistent with how a reasonable person would expect their own children to be addressed.  A coach is never to address a player from another team unless in a sincere congratulatory or helpful tone.

Conduct which falls outside that listed above at either practices or games is subject to disciplinary measures from the school.
