The essential elements of character building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these “six pillars of character.”

 

COACH

As a PHMB coach I will make every effort to:

 

о Create a safe and caring environment for players to learn, practice and play

о Be kind, approachable and make every player feel important

о Treat each player fairly and as equal members of the team

о Make every practice and game active and fun

 

 

PARENT

As a parent I will make every effort to:

 

о Attend my child’s games

о Be a supportive parent for the coach and the team

о Be a positive role model and demonstrate good sportsmanship

о Be supportive when my child is successful or struggling for success

о Refrain from “coaching” my child from the stands

 

 

PLAYER

As a player I will make every effort to:

 

о Play fair

о Do my best

о Listen to my coach and parents

о Hustle when I can

о Respect my teammates, coaches, parents, opponents and umpires

о Have fun

 

Let the players play,

Let the coaches coach,

Let the officials officiate,

Let the fans cheer ENTHUSIASTICALLY!
