1. I will teach my players to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials and opponents. 
2. I will ensure that all players receive equal instruction and support. 
3. I will remember that players play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves. I will not verbally abuse my players or make harassing comments to my players.
4. I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe for all participants.

6. I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching or management skills. 
7. I will foster regular and effective communications with parents and players. 
8. I will ensure that team behavior is acceptable and non-threatening for all participants.
