Code of Conduct for Parents

By submitting a child’s registration to the CCC Stars Youth Sports, I hereby pledge to make every effort to support the spirit of the game and uphold the following Code of Conduct:

  1. I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game and practice.
  2. I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of any personal desire to win.
  3. I will provide support for coaches and officials working with my child to provide a positive, enjoyable experience for all.
  4. I will never enter the playing field during practice or games to argue with or complain about referees’ or coach’s calls or decisions, even if the referee or coach makes a mistake, and agree not to stand on the side of field with my child’s team during games.  (Coaches must be registered and have an approved background check as a CCC STARS coach).
  5. Agree not to use verbal language which is intimidating toward the referee, coach, player, parent, or administrative official during all practices and games (including but not limited to vulgar, improper, foul, demeaning, or abusive language).  The CCC STARS Leadership Team and or GM of STARS will have the final say on actions or language deemed vulgar, improper, foul, demeaning, or abusive.
  6. Will not touch a player, parent, coach, referee, administrative official, or spectator in such a manner that is deemed as threatening/intimidating or as an assault per California Revised Statutes.
  7. I will not use illegal drugs, alcohol or tobacco during any practices or games.
  8. I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.
  9. I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.
  10. I will provide positive reinforcement as the best way to help my child achieve his or her goals and overcome his or her natural fear of failure.
  11. I will leave any sideline coaching to the coach while attending games and practices.
  12. I will encourage everyone to use the CCC Sports Complex facilities properly and to keep them clean and free from litter.
  13. I will remember the game is for my child and not for me.  I understand the coach will target 50% playing time for my child.  Exceptions to this requirement would be: player(s) missing practice without a valid excuse, disruptive in practices or games, injured before or during a game/practice, or who arrive late to games/practices.  An excused absence includes but is not limited to: school related events, homework, activities, sick or injured, or others deemed reasonable and approved by the GM of STARS .
  14. I will not litter the CCC Sports Complex Facilities.
