Parents must read this code of ethics fully. This form must be signed and returned to your child’s coach prior to any practice or playing time for the team.

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

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, other parents and officials at every game, practice, or other PAA sports event.

I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win.

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

I will support and show respect for coaches, officials and other parents working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. I will refrain from any foul language at any PAA event.

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

I will remember that the game is for youth-not for adults.
I will not make any demands to coaches or the PAA administration that my child have special treatment or position during game or sports event.

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

I promise to help my child enjoy the PAA sports experience by doing whatever I can, such as being a respectable fan, assisting with coaching, or providing transportation, completing my volunteer responsibilities.
