YMCA PLEDGE WIN OR LOSE, I PLEDGE BEFORE GOD TO PLAY THE GAME AS WELL AS I KNOW HOW; TO OBEY ALL THE RULES, TO BE A GOOD SPORT AT ALL TIMES, AND TO IMPROVE MYSELF IN SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY.

 

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 each child ahead of a personal desire to win.

• I will support the implementation of the YMCA’s four character development values-caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

• 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 of drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all YMCA youth sports events.

• I will remember the game is for youths – not for adults.

• I will do my very best to make the youth sports experience for my child.

• 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 character development or providing transportation.

• I will treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.

Shawnee YMCA Coaches Creed

I pledge myself to uphold the high standards of the YMCA in all my associations with team members, coaches, spectators and opposing teams. I will exemplify all the principles of good sportsmanship and instill them in the youths under my care. I will not permit any unsportsmanlike conduct from players or spectators representing the team I am coaching. I will, by personal example, display the qualities of leadership that will inspire youths to strive toward the goal of good leadership and sportsmanship. In accordance with the YMCA principles, I shall make fair play and good sportsmanship the primary objective of all competition. My primary aim as a YMCA coach shall be the development of youth, spiritually, mentally, and physically. I will abide by and uphold the rules and regulations governing athletic contests, as established by the YMCA. I will follow the YMCA coach’s manual guidelines. I will, before any athletic contest is started, line up all my team players and coaches together with the officials and recite the YMCA Pledge or a prayer. I will, after any athletic contest is completed, line up my team facing our opposition and lead them in shaking hands with each member and coach of the opposing team. I have read the Coaches Creed and fully agree with the conditions of the creed. I fully understand the team I am coaching is not my team, but as a YMCA team, and I understand that I will be relieved of my duties as a coach if found guilty of any major violation.
