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 child’s 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.
