PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
We, the East Jefferson Little
League Board of Directors, have implemented the following Parent Code of
Conduct for the important message that it holds about the proper role of
parents in supporting the youth of our community and their child in sports.
The essential elements of
character building and ethics in sports are the foundations of sportsmanship
and are demonstrated by the core principles of respect, responsibility,
fairness, and good citizenship.
As an East Jefferson Little
League Parent, I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and
encouragement for each child participating in EJLL by adhering to the following
code of conduct:
I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating
positive support at all times.
I will remember that children participate to have fun,
and that the game is for youth, not adults.
I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike
conduct with any official, coach, player or parent such as booing and taunting,
refusing to shake hands, or using profane language.
I will teach my child that doing one's best is more
important than winning.
I will respect the officials and their authority
during games.
I will not confront coaches or managers at any time
during games.
I will refrain from coaching my child or other players
during games.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
I also agree that if I fail to
abide by the aforementioned rules and guidelines, I will be subject to
disciplinary action levied by the EJLL Board of Directors or Code of Conduct Committee
that could include, but is not limited to the following:
Verbal Warning
Written Warning
Parental suspension for games
Parental season suspension
Parental removal from all league activities
The East Jefferson Little
League Board of Directors retains the sole authority to determine what, if any,
disciplinary action is appropriate for any conduct infraction.
