PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The Fort Bragg Girls Softball Association (FBGSA) has implemented the following Parent Code of Conduct for the important message that it holds about the proper role of parents in supporting the youth of our softball community.
The essential elements of character building and ethics in sports are the foundations of good sportsmanship and are demonstrated by the core principles of respect, responsibility, fairness, and loyalty.
I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for each child participating by adhering to the following code of conduct:
- I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support at all times.
- I will remember that children participate to have fun, and that the game is for youth, not adults.
- I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing and taunting, refusing to shake hands, or using profane language.
- I will teach my child that doing one's best is more important than winning.
- I will respect the officials and their authority during games.
- I will not confront coaches or managers at any time during games.
- I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games unless I am also a named coach.
- Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
I also agree that if I fail to abide by this Code of Conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action levied by the FBGSA Board of Directors that could include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Verbal Warning
- Written Warning
- Parental suspension for game(s)
- Parental season suspension
- Parental removal from all league activities
The FBGSA Board of Directors retains the sole authority to determine what, if any, disciplinary action is appropriate for any conduct infraction.
