PARENT, GUARDIAN OR GUEST CODE OF CONDUCT
I understand that my responsibility as a parent or guardian involved in a youth organization is of great importance and that my actions have the potential to significantly influence the children I come into contact with and therefore I agree to conduct myself in accordance with this Parent, Guardian or Guest Code of Conduct as follows:
Participation in the Organization involves some travel and outdoor activities. Attendance is required at all scheduled games, home or away, good weather or bad. Transportation to and from an event or activity is the parent or guardian's responsibility. The parent or guardian agrees to participate in volunteer activities and duties associated with the Member Organization, to include but not limited to, snack bar, field set up, field clean up, and general maintenance.
A risk of injury is inherent in participation in the sports of Baseball and Softball. A parent/guardian or a duly authorized adult will be present during all practices, games, events, competitions or organization activities in which their child is attending or participating.
I grant permission to the Member Organization to transport, or arrange for transportation of, my child to a hospital in the event of an unforeseen accident or medical emergency. In the unlikely event that emergency medical treatment is required and neither a parent/guardian nor duly designated agent is present or immediately available, said parent/guardian hereby authorizes the child's coach and/or another adult member of the organization to make any necessary medical decisions, until such time as the parent/guardian can be present or contacted. Said parent further represents the child is covered by medical insurance and/or assumes full financial responsibility for any medical treatment or service provided.
I will not use or be under the influence of any illegal drugs, alcohol, and/or tobacco during any practice, game, competition and/or sanctioned activity and will immediately report any person who I believe to be using and/or under such influence.
I will exhibit good sportsmanship at all times, and shall not boo or openly criticize players, coaches, officials, or opposing teams, nor will I incite others to do the same.
I will refrain from coaching my player or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team or was asked for assistance from a participating coach.
I shall comply with and enforce this Parent, Guardian or Guest Code of Conduct. I further accept responsibility for my guests, non-signing spouse, non-signing parent, family members, friends, and other invitees, who attend games, practices, competitions or any South Marple Little League activity, and shall insure they exhibit good sportsmanship and comply with the Parent, Guardian or Guest Code of Conduct, which shall be applicable to and enforced against them as if they had read, agreed and signed same. Any and all violations may be subject to discipline according to the disciplinary code enforced by the South Marple Executive Board of Directors.
