Please note that all players/parents/coaches need to abide by the rules as set out by the Morinville Youth Basketball Association.

AS A COACH I WILL: 

Ensure that all athletes get fair playing time, instruction and support.

 Be reasonable when scheduling games and practices, remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations. 

 Teach my athletes to play fairly and respect the rules, officials, teammates and opponents. 

Not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or performing poorly. I will remember that children play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.

Make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the athlete's age and abilities. 

Remember that children need a coach tehy can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example. 

Obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills. 

Work in partnership and communicate with parents and players. 

I will treat other coaches, players and referees with respect and yelling at participants will not be condoned.

I will not wear my street shoes in the gymnasium, nor bring food, coffee or other drinks (except water) into the gym.
