Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority

Code of Conduct for Youth Sports

Mission and Purpose:

The Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority Commission is dedicated to raising the standard of service to youth in sports through the creation and enforcement of the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct defines the expectations for coaches/parents/spectators/officials/players in youth sports and explains the tools to be used by the Park and Recreation Commission and its sub-committees (such as DLCRA Baseball, DLCRA Youth Soccer, and DLCRA Youth Basketball), when necessary, to check behavior and to respond with resolve to protect children from any psychological, emotional, physical, or social abuses that can be perpetrated against them during their participation in youth sports.

The Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority firmly believes that for the sports experience to be positive, safe, and an enjoyable learning experience for youth, coaches/parents/officials/players (hereafter “participants”) must be held accountable for their behavior when working with and around youth.

Coaches’ Code of Conduct:

            • I will place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win.

            • I will treat each player as an individual, and expect age appropriate skills from all my players.

            • I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.

            • I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players on and off the field.

            • I will respect the decisions of referees and coaches.

            • I will remember that I am a youth sports coach and that the game is for children and not adults.

            • I will adhere to the Coaches Code of Conduct while participating in any youth sports activity, regardless of the sponsoring municipality or organization.

Inappropriate Behavior by Participants:

            • Taunting, criticizing or jeering of opposing players and officials.

            • Cursing or fighting.

            • Critical, insulting, foul, or discriminating actions before, during or following games or practices.

            • Inappropriate behavior is cause for immediate ejection from the game. Repeat offenses will result in participant being barred from participating in future games and practices.

            • Any conduct incident with a coach or volunteer involving youth sports will be subject to review by the sub-committee and the Park and Recreation Commission.

Procedures for Implementation of Code of Conduct:

The right to discipline a participant remains with the sub-committees.

Procedures for discipline will involve first trying to resolve the issue via discussion between the appropriate sub-committee and involved parties within 21 days of the sub-committee receiving notification. If the sub-committee cannot come to a decision within 21 days, they will appoint a five-member impartial review board to hear the matter. The Park and Recreation Commission will appoint one attendee from the Park and Recreation Commission. If the violator does not agree with the review boards’ decision, he/she can grieve it to the majority of the Park and Recreation Commission at the next regularly scheduled meeting. The Park and Recreation Commission has the final word. The Park and Recreation Commission reserves the right to overrule any sub-committee decision.
