Parent-Coaches Code of Ethics

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement of my child while participating in Kent Island Athletic Association Program.

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating respect and positive support of all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice or other youth sports activity.

I will place the emotional and physical wee being of my child ahead of any personal desire to win.

I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.

I will support coaches and officials working with my child to provide a positive, enjoyable experience for all.

I will demand a drug, alcohol and tobacco-free environment for my child and agree to assist by refraining from their use at all youth sports events.

I will remember that youth sports activities are for the children and not the adults.

I will do my best to make youth sports fun for my child and follow the rules of KIAA, Babe Ruth League and Cal Ripken Baseball.

I will not cause conflicts with other participating adults, coaches, umpires or children in this league.

I will encourage my child to treat other players, coaches, officials and fans with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.

I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience within my personal constraints by assisting with coaching or officiating, performing maintenance, or whatever I am capable of doing, as well as being a respectful and sportsman-like fan and spectator.

I understand that a violation of this code may result in the suspension or termination of myself, and or, my child’s participation in the Kent Island Athletic Association Program.
