Coach Reminder
Your Team Site is a communication and organization tool for your assigned team. Official rosters, team placement, league schedules, rules, and league-wide decisions are managed by The Community House.
The Community House league philosophy focuses on participation, sportsmanship, learning the
fundamentals of the game and creating an atmosphere for all players to succeed.
Our league expectations are that everyone plays, everyone receives equal playing time, rotates positions, and no
players are cut from our program. The Community House believes that the adults involved in our
youth sports leagues are role models of sportsmanship, respect, and self-control. Every decision
made and behavior displayed should always be what is in the best interest of the young athletes
participating in our league. Players, coaches, parents, officials and staff are expected to continually
reinforce the attributes of sportsmanship, hard work, and positive thinking during the season.
Individuals who fail to comply with The Community House league rules and expectations
will be subject to disciplinary action. This includes but is not limited to the following order
or combinations as decided by the league and severity of the situation:
1. Verbal or written warning issued by league
2. Immediate ejection from game (by league or officials)
3. Suspended from game, or multiple games
4. Removal (as coach or spectator) from the league
Some disciplinary actions may follow from one league to the next or can span over multiple seasons
By participating in our league; all parents, coaches, and spectators are subject, but not limited to,
following our Parent/Coach Code of Conduct rules:
- I will treat all league officials, coaches, spectators, and players with respect at every game or practice
- I will encourage good sportsmanship and demonstrate positive support for coaches, officials, and players. I will do my best to ensure this is a positive experience for my child.
- I will not engage in or encourage any unsportsmanlike conduct with coaches, officials, spectators, or players. This includes: foul language/gestures, taunting, booing, refusing to shake hands, etc.
- I will not engage in or encourage any behavior that endangers the safety or well-being of any coaches, officials, spectators, or players.
- I will not verbally threaten or physically abuse any coaches, officials, spectators, or players.
- I will respect the officials and their authority during games. I will refrain from yelling at or forcefully confronting officials. I understand officials are there to provide a safe environment for play while enforcing the rules.
- I will respect my child’s coach. I recognize the importance of volunteer coaches and understand that coaches are important for the development of my child and the league.
- If I am coaching my child’s team, I will treat all children equally and fair. I will ensure all players receive equal playing time and the opportunity to play, and establish a fun atmosphere. As a volunteer coach, I will never make a child feel defeated based on the outcome of a game or by his/her performance.
- I will remember that The Community House leagues are played for fun and the development of young athletes. The league is intended for the success of youth, not the adults.
