Parent Code of Conduct

The BBA has implemented the following Player and Parent Code of Conduct. All Players and Parents (or legal guardians) must read, understand and sign this form prior to the player’s participation in our league. By signing this form, the player and parent both provide their consent that a player or parent/guardian/spectator who violates the Code of Conduct may be subject to disciplinary action by the BBA Board. This disciplinary action may include a temporary suspension from the program or the forfeiture of the privilege to participate in the program for the season.

Parent’s Code of Conduct (or Legal Guardian):

• I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game, practice or other sporting event.

 • I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player or parent such as booing and taunting, refusing to shake hands, or using profane language or gestures.

• I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of athletes.

• I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect at all times regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.

• I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a mistake or losing a competition.

• I will respect the officials and coaches for their authority during games and practices; I will never question, discuss, or confront coaches at the gymnasium, but will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed-upon time and place.

• I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the registered coaches for the team.

"Your kids success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are... but having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilent and who tries their best IS a direct reflection of your parenting.
