ahead of any personal desire to win.

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

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

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

I will remember that the game is for the players and not for the
adults.

I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.

I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and

respectful fan, providing transportation or whatever I am capable
of doing.

I will require that my child's coach be trained in the responsibilities
of being a youth sports coach and that the coach agree to the
youth sports Coaches' Code of Ethics
