Coach's Code of Conduct

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to clearly establish the expectations of the
Wellston Recreation Department Youth Coaches. The Recreation Department has a
responsibility to maintain a safe, wholesome, and inclusive atmosphere for all children,
regardless of ability, age, gender, race, or other characteristics that contribute
to a child's individuality.

Therefore, the following guidelines have been adopted to govern the interaction
between adult coaches and the children involved in Recreation Department activities:

1. No profanity or vulgar language.

2. No yelling, screaming, or abusive language directed at a coach, player, fan, parent,
Recreation Department official, or an umpire/judge/referee.

3. No use of alcohol or drugs while attending a Recreation Department activity,
practice, or game. This includes the abuse of prescription drugs.

4. Be accepting of differing abilities of each child. Keep your comments to yourself.

5. Do not involve yourself, or allow the children to be exposed to any other influence
that would be morally unacceptable to the general public.


I have read and agree to follow these requirements.

I understand that deviating from any of the guidelines listed above may result in my immediate
dismissal as a coach, and permanent exclusion from all Recreation Department activities.
