DYC Travel Parent’s and Coaches Code of Conduct:

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child, and other children, participating in youth sports by following this Parents’ and Coaches’ Code of Conduct. I also understand that this is a “Zero Tolerance” policy. 

1.          I will have my child arrive on time for all games and practices and let the coach know in advance if my child will be absent, arriving late or leaving early.

2.          I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game and practice.

3.          I will not engage in any type of physical or verbal abuse of any official, player, coach or spectator at any time.

4.          I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child, and other children, ahead of my personal desire to win, and keep in mind that the game is for our children - not for adults.

5.          I will insist that my child, and other children, play in a safe and healthy environment.

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

7.          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 youth sports events.

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

9.          I understand, that in order for my child to be eligible for play, I must complete all required forms and applications, and pay the required membership and sport fees for the travel program.

10.      I understand for my child’s participation I need to pay an initial deposit of $100 at the team kickoff meeting (or first off season practice, if unable to attend). I also understand that I will need to pay another $200 deposit ay the DYC Winter Baseball Clinic, and finally I understand I need to pay the remaining balance prior to Memorial Day.  

11.      I will contact the Travel Director and report any type of physical or verbal abuse or non-fair play that I eyewitness.    Any concerns about how the league is run, how coaches are coaching or how referees are officiating should be referred to the Head Coach first, and if not satisfied, then to the Travel Director and the DYC Baseball Commissioner.
