CYB Coach’s Code of Ethics:
I
will place the emotional and physical well-being of my players ahead of a
personal desire to win. I will treat
each player as an individual. I will do
my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players. I will promise to review and practice the
basic first aid principles needed to treat injuries of my players. I will do my best to organize practices that
are fun and challenging for all of my players.
I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to
all of my players. I will be
knowledgeable in the rules for the division in which I coach, and I will teach
these rules to my players. I will
remember that I am a youth sports coach, and that the game is for the kids and
not for the adults.
Parent’s Code of Ethics Pledge:
I
will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all
players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other CYB event. I
will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a
personal desire to win. I will support
coaches and officials working with my child in order to encourage a positive
and enjoyable experience for all. I will
refrain from the use of drugs, tobacco and alcohol at all CYB events. I
will also avoid using any foul or vulgar language while attending CYB events. I
will remember that the game is for the youth - not the adults. I will ask my child to treat other players,
coaches, fans and officials with respect, regardless of race, sex, creed or
ability. I will insist that my child’s
coach be trained in the responsibilities of being a CYB
coach, and that the coach upholds the Coaches’ Code of Ethics. I further agree to abide by the CYB Policy For Misconduct (see
www.cybb.org).
CYB Misconduct Policy
If a coach, player or fan
is ejected from a game, he/she must leave the playing field immediately. At the discretion of the umpire, he/she may
also be required to leave the park within 10 minutes of the ejection. Additional penalties will be handed out
according to the following guidelines:
- 1st offense: suspension for that team’s next game;
- 2nd offense: suspension for that team’s next two
games;
- 3rd offense: suspension for the remainder of the
season and possible lifetime expulsion from CYB.
The CYB board of directors
reserves the right to alter these penalties at their discretion.
Note: For the penalty guidelines above, offenses
are only accumulated during each season.
However, repeated ejections over multiple seasons will be taken into
account by the board when determining possible increased penalties. Also, a penalty applied to a coach or player
who is on multiple teams will normally be applied only to games played by that
team on which he/she was participating when the ejection occurred.
