Coach's Code of Conduct

BURGO BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION, INC

As a coach in the BBA Youth Basketball league, I pledge to abide by the following code of ethics:

I will never place the importance of winning over the physical and mental well-being of any player.
I will instruct the players to play within the association’s rules and regulations. I will not teach or

support unsportsmanlike conduct in any manner.

Each player will be treated as an individual. I will work to challenge each player; yet will remember that each player has developed differently physically and emotionally.
To the best of my ability, I will ensure practices are fun and have organized, challenging activities allowing the children to learn and improve skills.
I will provide a practice environment that is free from drugs, tobacco, alcohol, offensive language, or inappropriate behavior.
I will not dispute any calls the referee has made during the game or try to disrupt the game in any manner. (Concerns about the referees can be addressed to Steve Burgo)
I will remember that I am a youth basketball coach, and that the game is for the children, not the adults.

I acknowledge that the BBA may remove me as a coach at any time with or without cause.

Infractions of this Code of Conduct may constitute immediate dismissal.
