I will place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of a
personal desire to win.
I will treat each player as an individual, remembering the large range of
emotional and physical development for the same age group.
I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.
I will promise to review and practice basic first aid principles needed to
treat injuries of 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 provide a sports environment for my team that is free of drugs, tobacco,
and alcohol, and I will refrain from their use at all youth sports events.
I will be knowledgeable in the rules of each sport that I coach, and I will
teach these rules to my players.
I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for all of the skills that I
teach.
I will remember that I am a youth sports coach, and that the game is for
children and not adults.
