PARENTS CODE OF ETHICS I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in youth sports by following this Parents Code of Ethics: I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other youth sports event. I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of my personal desire to win. I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment. I will require that my child’s coach be trained in the responsibilities of being a youth sports coach and that the coach upholds the Coaches Code of Ethics. I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage  a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol  and will refrain from their use at all youth sports events. I will remember that the game is for youth - not adults. I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child. I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability. I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation. I will read the National Standards For Youth Sports and do what I can to help  all youth sports organizations implement and enforce them. National Alliance For Youth Sports Code of Conduct
