Oxford Girls Softball
Code of Conduct for Parents/Guardians

I pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in fast pitch softball by following the Oxford Girls Softball League Code of Conduct for Parents/Guardians.

As a 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 insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.
• I will support coaches, managers and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.
• I will remember that coaches/managers are volunteering their time.
• 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. (Please keep comments to yourself; you never know who is sitting next to you!)
• I will treat other players, coaches, managers, fans and umpires with respect regardless of race, sex or ability.
• I will remember the game is for the kids – not adults. Remember these are children not professional athletes.

*Remember: The umpire(s) have the right to ask any parent, coach or manager to leave ifthey are act in an unsportsmanlike manner.
