  up areas, and benches.
 Coaches and scorekeepers are required to wear a mask at all times and should avoid clusters when
  speaking.

Good Sportsmanship – Everyone’s Responsibility
 Coaches Code of Conduct (click HERE for full document)

 COACHES RESPONSIBILITIES TO PLAYERS - The coach must never place the value of winning over the safety
  and welfare of players. Winning should be the result of preparation and discipline with emphasis placed on
  the highest ideals and character traits. At no time will a Coach or Volunteer demean, degrade or humiliate
  any player, parent, spectator, official, team or other coach or volunteer on any social media forum.
 COACHES RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFICIALS (REFEREES) Officials must have the support of coaches, players and
  spectators. Criticism of officials undermines their purpose in the game. Coaches must always refrain from
  criticizing officials in the presence of players, parents, and spectators.
 COACHES GAME DAY AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES A coach’s behavior must be such as to bring credit to
  themselves, his organization (team), and the sport. Coaches shall be responsible for Parent and Spectators
  conduct. Coaches should use their positive influence on parents and spectators.
 COACHES ARE RESPONSIBILE TO KNOW AND PROMOTE THE RULES OF THE GAME
 COACHES ARE NOT PERMITED TO SCOUT AND RECRUIT
 RESPONSIBILITY TO PSA AND MEMBER AFFILATIONS - At no time will a coach or volunteer argue, abuse,
  threaten or demean any official, other coach, parent, spectator, League Officials, or any PSA Staff Member
A Coach’s failure to follow the Code of Conduct is subject to immediate suspension from all PSA Activities

Sportsmanship – Parents and Spectators
               Parental Code of Conduct

 You are your child's number one role model.
 Allow the coach to coach the team! Sideline comments are to be supportive only. Do not yell instructions to the
  players, coaches or officials.
 Relieve the pressure of competition by helping players enjoy practices and games. Players feel enough pressure on their
  own.
 Help the coach and your player by making sure they are on time and properly equipped for all practices and games.
 Treat all participants (players, coaches, officials and spectators) with the same respect you would want for your own
  child. NEVER YELL AT OR TOUCH AN OFFICIAL
 Learn all you can about the game. Before you attempt to interpret the laws of the game, be sure you know and
  understand them.
 Show appreciation for good play, no matter who makes it.
 Remember the game is for the players and no one else. Do all you can to support them.
 Take an active interest how participation in sports affects your child. Help them understand good sportsmanship is as
  important as winning.
 Support the team, club, and league, as they strive to give your child a positive experience. Volunteer when you can.
  Say "thanks" to those who give their free time.
