SCITUATE YOUTH LACROSSE
Player Code of Conduct
 

All Scituate Youth Lacrosse (“SYL”)  players are required to read, acknowledge and honor the following:

 As a Scituate Youth Lacrosse player, I will:
 
•    Respect the game of lacrosse and its rules, learn the rules of the game and play fairly.
•    Hold myself accountable to the coaches and their team expectations. 
•    Remain attentive during trainings, games and all team activities. 
•    Hold the safety and welfare of myself, my teammates and opponents above all else.
•    Be an ambassador of the program and demonstrate positive behavior and character with respect toward teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, parents, and spectators. 
•    Work hard for myself, my coaches and for my team during all practices and games. 
•    Demonstrate the utmost respect for officials, observing the rules and reinforce that respect to my teammates, coaches and the spectators that watch me play (parents, friends, relatives, etc.).  
•    Never retaliate, verbally or physically, no matter what the provocation may be.
•    Respectfully acknowledge with my team members, the opposing players/coaches and referees after all games. 
•    Hold myself, my teammates and peers to this code of conduct, such as incidents of disrespect, bullying, or otherwise inappropriate behavior against myself or other players 
•    Because I represent my family, team, program & community I abide by the policies, rules, and guidelines of the club, team, and coaches.
 
Players failing to comply will first be addressed by the team coach.  In the event any situation needs further resolution, then the SYL Board of Directors will review violations of the player Code of Conduct and take necessary action. 

I confirm that the child I am registering has read/been read, understands and agrees to abide by the SYL Player Code of Conduct. 

 

 

 

 

 

SCITUATE YOUTH LACROSSE
Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct

As a parent/guardian, you play a special role in the development of your daughter or son, and of his/her teammates. Your encouragement and good example will do more to ensure good sportsmanship and self-discipline than any other influence. The other team is the opponent, not the enemy, and should be treated with respect. While winning is important, playing well and fairly is the essence of the game.
 
•    SUPPORT YOUR CHILD
•    DON'T BE A SIDELINE COACH OR REF
•    DEMONSTRATE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD YOUR OPPONENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES

 
All parents/guardians of SYL players are required to read, acknowledge and adhere to the following:

As an SYL parent/guardian, I:

•    Understand and endorse that the primary purpose of SYL is to foster a love of the game and support players of all levels to participate and develop to their fullest potential as a lacrosse player and as a person. 
•    Will do my very best to have our child prepared for every game.
•    To support my child and his/her teammates and encourage with positivity even when mistakes are made and regardless of the score or outcome of the game. 
•    Will support the team, it’s players, coaches, and opposition by applauding and acknowledging good play, but also displays of fair play, good character and sportsmanship, regardless of the outcome, during and after each game. 
•    Will be mindful in a “lopsided” game where cheering our own “winning” team might be misunderstood.
•   I do not interact, comment on, yell at, criticize, or otherwise address the referee before, during or after the game. I also ensure any other spectators (friends, family, etc.) that may be attending the game with me, are aware of and adhere to said policy.
•    Will allow the coaches to do the coaching, and players to make their own decisions during games. I understand that by coaching from the sideline (as a spectator) and yelling instructions during the game I can actually stunt player development by giving players mixed messages and taking away their opportunity to practice decision making.
•    Understand that improper behavior at a game may result in a parent being asked to leave the field by the referee, by SYL, or a club official so the coach or team does not receive a penalty due to the action of the parent spectator.

 
Because I am a parent/guardian who has the power, position, and platform to make a positive difference in the lives of young players, I commit to this Code of Conduct. When failing to live up to our standards I will allow for accountability and take responsibility for my actions
 
Parents failing to comply will first be addressed by the team coach.  In the event any situation needs further resolution, then the SYL Board of Directors will review violations of the Parent Code of Conduct and take necessary action. 

I, as a parent/guardian of the player being registered, have read and agree to abide by the Scituate Youth Lacrosse Parent Code of Conduct.
