Coaches Code of Conduct
Court Time Sports Center is committed to the highest standard of conduct of all coaches and referees during games.
We want to ensure that games are fair, positive and enjoyable experiences for all everyone involved.
All coaches must agree to conform to the following code.
Before, during and after the game, be an example of dignity, patience and positive influence.
Before a game, introduce yourself to the opposing coach and to the referee.
During the game, you are responsible for the sportsmanship of your players. If one of your players is disrespectful, irresponsible or overly aggressive, take the player out of the game at least long enough for him/her to calm down.
During the game, you are also responsible for the conduct of the parents of your players. It is imperative to explain acceptable player and parent behavior in a preseason meeting.
Encourage them to applaud and cheer for good plays by either team. Discourage them, and you may need to be forceful and direct, from yelling at players, coaches and the referees.
Your language, manner and presentation will demonstrate professionalism at all times.
During the game, do not address the referee. If you have an issue, discuss it with the referee calmly and patiently at a time-out or after the game.
If you have a major complaint, or if you think the referee was unfair, biased, unfit or incompetent, report your opinion to the Director in writing. Your reactions will be taken seriously if they are presented objectively and formally.
It is important to let the coaches coach, the referees ref and the players play the game.
Coaches play an important role by letting the players and referees concentrate on the game. You can help by encouraging them, by accepting their inevitable, occasional mistakes and by offering constructive post-game comments.
On the other hand, you could discourage and demoralize the players and referees by criticizing their decisions, by verbally abusing them and inciting - or even accepting - your own players' overly aggressive behavior. Your example is powerful, for better or worse. If you insist on fair play, if you concentrate on your players' enjoyment of the game and their overall, long term development, and if you support the referee, your players and their parents will notice. If you encourage (or allow) your players to play outside the rules, if you're overly concerned about results, and if you criticize the referee harshly, your players and their parents will also notice. Think about what you're doing during a game! Uphold the Spirit of the Game! If you follow the expectations described above, the spirit of the game will be alive and well at Court Time Sports Center and will grow, along with the enjoyment of all.
Coaches who don't follow the expectations described above will be asked to leave the premises.
