The purpose of a code of conduct for parents is to establish consistent expectations for behavior by parents. As a member of Armada parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to electronically sign this document for each season.
I understand the important growth and developmental support that my child’s participation fosters. I also understand that it is essential to provide the coaching staff with respect and the authority to coach the team. I agree with the following statements:
Lead by example: I will set the right example for my child by demonstrating sportsmanship and showing respect and common courtesy at all times to the team members, coaches, competitors, officials, parent volunteer coordinator, and all facilities.
Be involved: I will be involved by volunteering and fulfilling all required volunteer hours. I will contribute to the team in the ways specified by the team and training group handbooks. I will exemplify and make sure my child understands the philosophy of team above self.
Be Informed: I will read the team and training group handbooks, the weekly team emails, and understand the team policies for athletes & parents. I will communicate with the coaches about any scheduling conflicts.
Parent Role: I will refrain from coaching my child from the stands/pool deck during practices and meets. Your role as a parent is important. Let the coach do the coaching, so you can provide unconditional support as a parent.
Officials: I will respect the integrity of the officials and represent Armada appropriately.
Follow the Protocol: If I have concerns I will direct them first to my child’s lead coach; then, if not satisfied, to the head coach.
Athlete Protection Training: I will complete the required Athlete Protection Training course by November 30th, 2022.
