Parents' Code of Ethics Pledge  

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in youth sports by following this PAYS Parents’ Code of Ethics:
   

• 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 demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all youth sports events.  

• I will remember that the game is for youth - not for adults.

• I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.

• I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation.

• I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.
