As a Chapter of the NYSCA (National Youth Sports Coaches Association), all of our volunteer coaches are required to follow the Coach's Code of Ethics Pledge.

Coach's Code of Ethics Pledge

* I will place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of any personal desire to win.

* I will remember to treat each player as an individual, remembering the large spread of emotional and physical development for the same age group.

* I will do my very best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.

* I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players.

* I will lead, by example, in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players.

* I will remember that children learn behavior not only from their parents but from their coaches. I will always be positive and praise the players constantly.

* I will insure that I am knowledgeable in the rules of each sport that I coach, and that I will teach these rules to my players.

* I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for each of the skills that I teach.

* I will remember that I am a youth coach, and that the game is for the children and not adults.
