Parent Code Of Conduct

PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT

As a parent of a child playing at Amesbury Sports Club (ASC), I agree to and will comply with the Parent’s Code of Conduct outlined below:

• I will remember that my child plays for her enjoyment, not for mine.
• I will always encourage my child to play by the rules.
• I will always encourage my child to respect the coaches, their team-mates and the umpires.
• I will never criticize umpire’s judgment or direct negative comments towards them.
• I will not be a “Grand Stand” Manager during games or practices.
• I will always address any questions or concerns to the Coaching staff at the appropriate time, defined as after games or practices and away from the players.
• I realize that I have enrolled my child to have fun, develop their softball skills and have a positive team experience and will do my best to support these objectives.
• I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud the good plays by both my child’s team and their opponents.
• I will teach my child that trying their hardest despite the score or situation is extremely important.
• I understand that the goals of playing at ASC are to have fun, develop my child’s softball skills and create team spirit.
• I will never put down another player, coach, parent or member of the ACS with the intent of humiliation, defamation, slander, ill will or intent to harm emotionally, socially, physically, verbally or conspire to hurt, isolate or target individuals or impede a respectful and positive environment.
• I understand that by not abiding by the guidelines of this Parents Code of Conduct or by displaying any other inappropriate conduct, will result in my being asked to leave the ball park and may possibly result in my child not playing.
