Coastal Bay Girls Softball League
CODE of CONDUCT
For Parents/Guardians

I understand and acknowledge that the actions of parents and fans can have a positive or negative effect on players.
I pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in fastpitch softball by following
the Coastal Bay Girls Softball League (“CBGSL”) Code of Conduct for Parents/Guardians.

As a positive supportive parent:

• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, managers and
  other officials at every game, practice or other softball-related event.

• I will place the emotional and physical well being of all children ahead of my personal desire to win.

• I will understand that coaches/managers are volunteering their time and will always act accordingly.

• I will support coaches, managers and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and
  enjoyable experience for all.

• I will do my best to make softball fun for my child and her teammates.

• I will help my child enjoy her softball experience by being a respectful fan and supporting parent. (Always keep
  comments positive; you never know who is sitting next to you!)

• I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.

• I will respectfully treat other players, coaches, managers, fans and umpires regardless of race, sex or ability.

• I will remember the game is for the children-not the adults. Remember these are children, not professional 
  athletes and want to have fun and learn.

• I will not use any foul or inappropriate language and will strongly discourage others from doing so

Consequences of violation(s) for parents/guardian can include any or all of the following:

1. A verbal warning from CBGSL Board of Directors and/or a written reprimand for the file.

2. Placement on probation by CBGSL Board of Directors for a minimum of 1 game.

3. Banishment by the CBGSL Board of Directors from all further practices and games.  Length is to be
            determined by the CBGSL Board of Directors.

*Remember: The umpire(s) have the right to ask any parent/guardian, coach or manager to leave if they are acting
in an unsportsmanlike manner.
