Coaches exert a profound impact on young athletes. Therefore, the coach-athlete relationship can be positive or negative depending on how each coach accepts such responsibility. The role of a coach is to educate athletes through participation in youth sports programs by guiding their physical, mental, social, and emotional development.
Code of Conduct
Inter Tribal Sports (ITS) strives to provide a positive environment for its participants. The following code of conduct has been developed to protect and promote the interests of the game, the player, and the coach.

1. Not indulge in conduct that would incite players or spectators against the officials, program coordinators, coaches or teams. Public criticism of officials, players, ITS staff or coaches is unacceptable.

2. Treat all players, coaches, officials, ITS Staff and fans with respect regardless of race, gender, creed or ability.

3. Not use profanity or aggressive language that could set a negative example for our athletes.

4. Encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials, and ITS Staff at every game. In addition, I will shake hands with my opponent before and after each game regardless of the outcome.

5. Maintain open line of communication with parents and players and encourage parent participation to help inspire athletes to achieve their full potential.

6. Place the emotional and physical well-being of our youth athletes above all else.

7. Report any suspected misconduct, child abuse or illegal conduct to ITS Administration immediately.

8. Set the development of both individual and team skills for all players as a top priority.

9. Provide a sports environment for my team that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from the use at all ITS events for the entire duration of the event.

10. Provide a safe playing situation for my players.

11. Organize practices that teach the necessary skills needed to compete, as well as, being enjoyable and challenging for all my players.

12. Stress the importance of putting the team first while still finding ways for players to be successful individually.

13. Remember that I am a youth coach, and that the game is for the children, not the adults.

14. Respect and adhere to the policies and procedures of ITS.

15. Understand that ITS has the right to remove any coach whose actions are detrimental to the team and/or our mission.
