Coaches Code of Conduct

It's only fair that if we as coaches expect the players to conduct themselves in a certain manner that we too should be held to account for our actions. Below is a list of what you can expect from Brett and I this season.

1. We will place the player's physical and emotional well being ahead of any personal desire to win.

2. We will nurture good sportsmanship and fair play and teach the players the value of competition and winning and losing.

3. We will set reasonable expectations for each player and for the team.

4. We will remind the players of these expectations if we feel individually or as a team they are not performing to their abilities.

5. We will do our best to teach the fundamentals of the game.

6. We will never ridicule or shout at your child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

7. We will instruct players and parents in the laws of the game and motivate all to act within them.

8. We will ensure that all team officials, players and parents treat opposing players, their fans and the match officials with respect.

9. You have our personal commitment to keep ourselves informed on sound coaching priniciples and the principles of children's growth and development.

10. We will strive to keep communication lines open with parents and players.
