Coaches Code of Conduct

1. Ensure the safety of all children by supervising them at all times and conducting drills and activities using safe methods.


2. Treat all parents, officials, players and FVPRCRD staff with respect.


3. Encourage children with positive reinforcement, placing emphasis on fun, fair play, sportsmanship and giving their best effort.


4. Winning is not the ultimate goal; giving your best effort and displaying good sportsmanship no matter the outcome is! Losing is an opportunity to further develop skills and character.


5. Abide by all FVPRCRD rules and policies.


6. Be prepared. Plan activities for practices and formulate game strategy prior.


7. Please stay with all participants until they have been picked up by a parent or guardian. Please do not allow players to leave with an unknown person. If you must leave before all players have left, please notify an assistant coach, staff person or parent to wait with remaining players.

14. Please maintain and accurate roster. Notify FVPRCRD staff of any players that have missed multiple practices or games. Make sure all participants are registered through FVPRCRD.


15. Treat all players equally.


16. Be a positive role model for all participants and parents by demonstrating good sportsmanship, honesty and integrity at all times. Encourage players to do the same.


17. Strive to make each team related function fun!


18. Teach the fundamentals of the sport you are coaching. If you don’t know something, ask a FVPRCRD staff member and they will gladly help any way they can.


19. Plan a starting lineup and player rotation for each game.


20. The use or being under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs and performance enhancing supplements during sports programs will result in the immediate dismissal from all current and future participation with the FVPRCRD sports programs.
