Athlete code of Conduct

We are very proud of our athletes. Our athletes represent our parishes, families, and

community. As such, CYO athletes have an obligation to uphold a high standard of excellence

and serve as positive role models in their faith community.

All players and teams should align with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia CYO’s Code of

Conduct, and the following

1. I will keep schoolwork and religious education as my top priority and notify my

coaches, teachers, or moderators of any problems that may affect my ability to

participate in this program.

2. I respect my teammates, coaches, referees, and opposing teams. At all times, I will

refrain from complaining, being confrontational, rude, or physical.

3. I will be a good sport, be gracious in victory and dignified in defeat. I will give fallen

opponents a hand, and compliment extraordinary performance.

4. I will show dignity and respect to all in pre and post-game rituals.

5. I am growing in character and am encouraged to develop my voice. When I have a

concern, I will speak to the coach before or after practice/gametime.

6. I understand that my talents alone will not lead us to a win. It is the ability to work

together as a team that will make us successful.

7. I know that my coaches believe in my potential and do their best to ensure my season

has developed skill, the character of good sportsmanship, and a winning spirit.

8. I will be a worthy role model and conduct myself in a manner that exemplifies the traits

and values I wish to see in my teammates.

9. I respect the facilities where I practice and play. I will pick up after myself, show respect

for property, and encourage the same from my teammates.

I understand that participation in an athletic program is a privilege, which can be denied or

suspended for violation of the rules and regulations or this code of conduct. I promise I will do

my best to live up to the standards and commitments outlined here.

Parent Code of Conduct

We are very proud of our athletes and community of parents and volunteers. Together we

represent our parishes, families, and community.

All parents should align with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia CYO’s Code of Conduct, and

agree to following

1. We view schoolwork and religious education as top priority. Please notify coaches,

teachers, or moderators of any problems that may affect my child’s ability to participate in

any games, practices, or events.

2. Update your child’s availability at least 48 hours in advance. It is understood that things

will come up last minute, and your child may miss practice or games. Outside of that,

please regularly share your child’s availability. Coaches plan practices, games, and

events around who they expect to attend.

3. DO NOT sit in the player area on the bench, or infield. This should be an area where the

kids can be themselves, learn, and bond as a team free from the scrutiny (intentional or

unintentional) of parents.

4. Encourage your child to develop their voice and leadership skills. When they have a

concern, they should be encouraged to respectfully speak to the coach before or after

practice/gametime.

5. Model respect for my child’s teammates, coaches, referees, and opposing teams. At all

times, I will refrain from complaining, being confrontational, rude, or physical.

6. I will NOT immediately confront the coaches during or after the game with criticisms via

email/call/text/in-person. Please wait 24 hours to ensure the conversation is professional

and handled in the best interest of the child.

7. I will not try to coach my child during or after the game. The game should be full of praise

and support. The ride home should be full of affirmation and, 'I love to watch you play!'

They need you to just be their parent, not their coach or their chief critic.

8. I will not engage in negativity around opposing parents or players. Congratulate the

impressive feats of the opponent. Respect the opponent and their families regardless of

the behavior that they demonstrate.

9. Be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship and that doing one’s

best is more important than winning.

I understand that participation in an athletic program is a privilege, which can be denied or

suspended for violation of the rules and regulations or this code of conduct. I promise I will do

my best to live up to the standards and commitments outlined here.
