St. Rose CYO: Players
Players Conduct Code
St. Rose CYO Player Code of Conduct
It is the purpose of the St. Rose CYO program to provide an avenue for
children to play basketball while promoting sportsmanship and good
relations among the players, coaches, parents, and spectators. The
program is committed to being a showcase organization for fair play,
equal participation, and displaying strong Christian values in the
North Bay CYO league. It is the player�fs responsibility to conduct
themselves with the utmost respect for the game, and to be an example
for other players and within the community. Playing for St. Rose CYO is
a privilege, not a right!
I therefore agree:
1. I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any
official, coach, player, or parent such as emotional outbursts;
arguing; refusing to shake hands; or using profane language or gestures.
2. I will not behave in a way that would endanger the health and well-being of myself or the other players.
3. I will never ridicule or yell at my coach, teammates, or other participants for any reason.
4. I will treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.
5. I will respect the officials and coaches and their authority during
games, and will never question or confront officials or coaches at the
game.
6. I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
7. I will play by the rules and resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
8. I will be a positive role model for my teammates and encourage
sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating
positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at
every game, practice or other sporting event.
9. I will remember that doing my best is more important than winning,
so that I will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or my
performance.
10. I will praise my teammates for competing fairly and trying hard, and make them feel like winners every time.
11. I will promote the emotional and physical well-being of my teammates ahead of any personal desire I may have to win.
12. I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect my safety or the safety of others.
I agree that if I fail to abide by the aforementioned rules and
guidelines, I will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with
the CYO rules that could include, but is not limited to the following:
* Verbal warning by official, head coach, athletic director, and/or head of league
* Written warning
* Game suspension with written documentation of incident kept on file by the organization
* Season suspension
I further understand that at any time during a season if I accrue two
technical fouls, I am suspended from attending the following week�fs
practice(s) and game. At any time during the season if I accrue three
or more technical fouls, I am suspended for the remainder of the season.
If I fail to sign this agreement I will not be allowed the privilege to
play. If I break the rules of this agreement, I will be disciplined,
including but not limited to the guidelines above.
