Parent Code of Conduct

I hear by pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child in all children participating in youth sports by hearing to the Parent Code of Conduct in the following ways:


A. I will lead by example through:

  1. Encouraging good sportsmanship and positive support for all coaches, players, opponents, opposing fans, and officials at every game, practice, or other youth sporting event. I understand the importance of setting a good example for my child as children are influenced by those surrounding them.

B. I will act responsibly and do my best to assure that:

  1. My child gets to practice in games on time. I understand that my child needs to be on time to assure adequate warm up in that arriving late can be embarrassing for my child. I will assure my child is picked up from all games and practices on time. By doing this, I send a message to my child that he/she is my top priority as well as showing respect for the coach.

  2. I place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a wind at all cost attitude. I will help to create an environment that builds a culture where winning is not defined by outcome of competition, but by the individual needs of the children. I understand that children are born with different abilities, and that it is not important how my child compares to others, but that he/she is given the opportunity to display their personal best.

  3. My child has a positive and fun youth sport experience. I understand that less than 1% of all you support participants receive a college scholarship, and that the number of one reason children play sports is to have fun. I understand it will remember that the game is for the players, not the adults, and will keep that in perspective.

  4. I will demand a sports environment that is free from drugs and alcohol and refraining from its use at all use sporting events. I understand that every child deserves to play in a healthy and safe environment.

C. I will display appropriate behavior. I understand that violations of the following codes will jeopardize my privilege to attend all view sports activities:

  1. Treating each coach, player, opponent, opposing fan, official, or administrator with respect and dignity, and will refrain from making negative comments, using profanity, intimidation tactics, and/or inappropriate language toward all in the presence of children. I understand that voicing negative comments, I can poorly impact my child's motivation and overall experience.

D. Terminal behavior. I understand that violations of the following codes will result in immediate dismissal of my privilege to attend all used sports activities:

  1. I will demand a sports environment that is free from drugs and alcohol and refraining from their use at all youth sporting events. I understand that every child deserves to play in a healthy and safe environment.

  2. I will refrain from initiating or participating in any form of verbal or physical assault toward any coach, player, opponent, opposing fan, official, or administrator.

The Plainfield Park District reserves the right to take appropriate disciplinary action involving any parents/guardian and violation of the code of conduct.

With my signature, which I voluntary effects to this contract, I acknowledge that I've read, understand, and will do my best to fulfill the promises made here in.
