37. Coaches Code of Conduct Purpose
    Goodlettsville Parks & Recreation (GP&R) youth sports leagues are provided to the community to not only be a fun experience for young athletes, but also to play an important role in promoting the physical, social, and emotional development of children. It is essential for coaches to encourage young athletes to embrace the values of good sportsmanship and fair play and for coaches to lead by example by demonstrating fairness, respect, and self-control. For those reasons, this Coaches Code of Conduct has been created to hold coaches accountable to be the best role model for young athletes while coaching in GP&R youth sports leagues.
39. Code of Conduct for Coaches
     I will always keep the best interest and well-being of the children as the highest priority.  I will follow all concussion and cardiac arrest protocols.  I will respect the officials’ calls and avoid arguing or questioning the officials in any way that will undermine their authority as this has the potential of creating a hostile environment for everyone.  I will not engage in verbal or physical abuse or altercations with any athlete, official, parent, attendee, or staff.  I will stress fair play and good sportsmanship during practices and in games whether winning or losing by not engaging in or allowing trash-talking, taunting, or chanting that could be demeaning or offensive in any way.  I will encourage athletes to think and play as a team, to do their best, and continually improve through personal effort and team work. Put less emphasis on the final outcome and more emphasis on effort, improvement, and team work.  I will maintain a thorough knowledge of the rules and ensure that my athletes understand and follow the rules. Remember that the rules of the game are designed to protect the participants as well as to set a standard for competition. Coaches should never disregard, circumvent, or take advantage of the rules by teaching deliberate misconduct to gain a competitive advantage.  I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for my players.  I will learn the strengths and weaknesses of my players so that I might place them into situations where they have a maximum opportunity to achieve success.  I will conduct my practices and games so that all players have an opportunity to improve their skill level through active play.  I will strive to provide a challenging, safe, enjoyable, and successful experience for the athletes by maintaining a positive environment free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol.  I will remember that as a youth sports coach, the game is for the children and not for adults.
