ERGYB

I pledge to provide positive support and encouragement for my child participating in THE ERGYB program by following this Parent’s Code of Conduct:

• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, game officials and administrators at all times

• I will remember that kids play to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.

• I will focus on fun, participation, and individual skill development rather that winning or losing.

• I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts peacefully.

• I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, sex, or ability.

• I will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning.

• I will never ridicule or yell at my child or others for a mistake or losing.

• I will respect the officials and their authority. I will not argue with or criticize game officials.

• I will respect the coaches for their decisions. If I have an issue, I will speak to the coach off the court when there are no players present.

• I will not engage in the use of profanity, obscene language or improper actions.

• I will refrain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol at all ERGYB events.

• I will make every effort to get my child to practice and games on time, pick him/her up on time, and in the event that we will miss a practice or a game we will let the coach know as soon as possible.

The consequences for violation of the Parent’s Code of Conduct are:

First Offense: Verbal warning from a ERGYB Travel Director or President to stop behavior in violation.
Second Offense: A written reprimand and a 1 (one) week / 1 (one) tournament suspension
Third Offense: Finally, expulsion from participating in the ERGYB program until a grievance hearing is held and a final recommendation is made.
The ERGYB Board of Directors decisions for action will be the final resolution and will be acted upon by all parties involved.
The ERGYB Board of Directors reserves the right to take immediate and appropriate action on any single incident as it seems necessary.

I have read and agree to the Parent’s Code of Conduct. My signature indicates my willingness to support players, coaches, officials, and administrators in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I understand the consequences if I fail to comply.
