Parent Code of Conduct-  Please remember this is a recreational league

As a URA Parent or Guardian, I will:

Remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.

Foster a positive and supportive environment by exhibiting behavior that is respectful of all players, coaches, umpires and other spectators.

Not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of the athletes.

NOT coach the team or my child from the sideline during game play.

Limit my sideline involvement to positive statements that encourage fair play and sportsmanship without providing specific instructions to players during game play.

Encourage my children to ask their coaches any questions they have.

NOT discuss another child with the coach; such questions must be directed to that child’s parent or guardian.

Follow the instructions of the coach and/or official during the game, including leaving the area if asked by the coach, official or commissioner if he/she feels my behavior or actions so warrant it.

Notify my child’s coaches of any planned absences from practice or games

Never attend a practice, game or other related activity under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Not contact a coach (verbal, written, e-mail) about the specifics of a game until 48 hours have passed from the end of game.

Educate my guests on these guidelines and be responsible for their actions and behavior.

I understand that coaches or board members may remove any coach, player, parent or spectator from the gym or playing field for failure to adhere to the above-established guidelines.  I also understand that violations of any of the items above could result in disciplinary action up to and including being banned from any URA activities at the discretion of the URA Board.

As a parent or guardian of a child in Unionville Recreation Association Activities, I agree to live by the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles as described above.  I also will help my child understand and live by these principles.
