Parental Code Of Conduct
INTRODUCTION:
Everyone involved in sports – from parents and spectators to athletes, officials and coaches can and should lead by example. The easiest way to do this is to respect the written and unwritten laws of the game.
Commitment:
Please advise the coach of any of your child’s absences in advance
Please make sure that your child is on time for games and practices
Encourage your child to play by the rules of the game
Consider the physical safety of team players at all times
Avoid any altercations, physical and verbal, with persons involved with the game
Remember children play for their enjoyment, not yours
Make sure your behavior sets a good example
Enthusiasm:
Please assist in making playing baseball a pleasant experience for all involved by volunteering whenever possible
Applaud good plays by your team and the opposing team
Respect:
Respect the role of coaches for being fully responsible for coaching during games
Do not interfere, let them do their job
Display respect for the umpire and his/her decisions at all times
Personal Conduct:
All parks in Collingwood are smoke-free, alcohol-free, drug-free
Provide only positive comments to all players and spectators (home and visitors)
Turn defeat into victory by emphasizing the value of honest effort, skill improvement and fair play
This Code of Conduct should be supplemented with a high degree of common sense and keeping the best interests of the players and the game in mind. Please read this Code of Conduct and embrace its content and spirit. Violation of the guidelines will result in disciplinary actions that could include, but are not limited to, verbal and/or written warnings, as well as coach, parental, and in extreme cases, player suspension. Let’s have a great year.
ROWAN’S LAW
As you may be aware, the Province of Ontario has recently passed Rowan’s Law meant to ensure concussion protection for youth athletes across the province. Baseball Ontario is committed to ensuring that our athletes are safe. Under Rowan’s Law and its regulations, all coaches and umpires are required to review and confirm having reviewed concussion education resources. This obligation comes into force on July 1, 2019 and has a 60-day window (deadline August 30, 2019) for initial compliance. This will be an ongoing annual requirement thereafter. As such, all coaches and umpires participating with Baseball Ontario are required prior to August 30 to:
1. Review the Concussion Education Resource found on the OBA website at https://tinyurl.com/y4bjsnlf
2. Review the applicable OBA Code of Conduct found on the OBA website at https://tinyurl.com/y28tqt2p
3. Indicate that you have completed steps 1 and 2 by completing the acknowledgement form prior to August 30, 2019 found at https://tinyurl.com/y3y2ey9r
Coaches and umpires who have not provided the acknowledgement by August 30, 2019 will not be eligible to participate in Baseball Ontario activities.
