Parent Code of Conduct

As a parent of CFYB, I will provide positive support and encouragement for each child participating in youth baseball by adhering to the following code of conduct: The Code of Conduct applies to all means of communication including social media.

1. I will treat with respect my coaches, other players, the opposing team’s coaches, officials and fans.
2. I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support at all times.
3. I will teach my child that doing one's best is more important than winning.
4. I will emphasize team success over my child’s individual accomplishments.
5. I will recognize the importance of volunteer coaches. They are very important to the development of my child and the sport.
6. I will refrain from criticizing any decisions made by my player’s coaches.
7. I will respect the officials and their authority during games.
8. I will never question, discuss, or confront coaches at the game field, and I will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place in accordance to the communication protocol.
9. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices.
10.  I will remember that children participate to have fun, and that the game is for youth, not adults.

I also agree that if I fail to abide by the code of conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action levied by the CFYB Board that could include, but is not limited to the following:

• Verbal Warning
• Written Warning
• Parental suspension for games
