Sports
Code of Conduct
For
Parents, Athletes, and Coaches
I am a role model, whether as a coach, spectator, or participant in a game or practice.
I understand that the principles of good sportsmanship include integrity, fairness, respect, and ethical behavior.
I will show respect to all players, coaches, spectators, and officials, both at practice and games.
As a coach, I will not only teach the athletes the skills of the game, but also teach them how to win and lose graciously. I will teach the athletes that one can play hard and be competitive while still having fun and showing respect for others on the playing field or court.
I understand that the recreational sports programs offered by Pisgah A.R.P. Church, while competitive, are intended to be educational and fun for children of all ages and athletic ability.
I will refrain from disrespectful behavior, including inappropriate language, taunting, trash talking, and unnecessary physical contact.
I will participate in cheers that support, encourage, and uplift the teams involved, not degrade or tear down a coach or child.
As a parent, I understand that the sports coaches used by Pisgah A.R.P. Church are volunteers, sacrificing their time to teach my child. I will show my support for the coach by bringing my child to practice and games on time. If I have a conflict or disagreement with a coach, I will endeavor to resolve said conflict in a respectful manner and at an appropriate time.
I understand that referees and officials in a game are human and that mistakes are inevitable. I will question judgment calls at an appropriate time and in a respectful manner, realizing that, while seemingly important at the time, a missed call will probably not affect my childs continued growth and development.
When all else fails, remember the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
As parent, I understand and agree to follow the guidelines of the Pisgah A.R.P. Church of Gastonia Recreation Program as noted above. I will encourage my children to adhere to these principles also. Any problems with above guidelines will be reported to Doug Brown. The phone number at Pisgah A.R.P. Church is 704-865-7611.
