PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT - YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM
I hereby pledge to live up to my responsibility as a parent of (child’s name) participating in the City of
Huntington Park Department of Parks and Recreation Youth Sports Program. I will follow the Parents
Code of Conduct listed below:
1. I will place the emotional and physical well-being of the children above any desire to win. I will
help my child understand the valuable lessons sports can teach and in doing so understand that
my child cannot change teams once he has been placed on one.
2. I will be a role model of good sportsmanship and character. I will help my child meet his/her
responsibilities to the coach and the team.
3. I will do my best to make sure that the game is fun for all the participants.
4. I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all participants, coaches,
parents’, officials, recreation staff, and the public. I will treat them all with respect.
5. I will maintain a positive sports environment for all participants that is free of drugs, tobacco,
alcohol and inappropriate language. I will refrain from their use at all Youth Sports activities and
events.
6. I will only make positive and encouraging comments to players, fans and coaches from both
teams. I will not interfere or coach from the stands.
7. I will strive to create a positive recreational experience for everyone involved in the Youth
Sports Program.
8. I will remember that I am a Youth Sports Program parent, and will remember the game is for
the children and not the adults. Accordingly, I will encourage my child to play sports by
providing a supportive atmosphere without pressure.
9. I will abide by any and all Recreation Department rules and regulations and rulings set forth by
the Sports Coordinator.
10. I will remember to be a good sport at all times, win or lose.
