PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT

Mission Statement:
Quakertown Youth Baseball Association is a program of service to the members of the community. It is geared to
provide an outlet for healthy activity and training under good leadership in the atmosphere of wholesome community
participation.
I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child as well as all other players by being
a positive role model.
I will promise to help my child enjoy the sports experience within my personal constraints by assisting with coaching,
being a respectful fan, providing transportation for games and practices, working in the snack stand, umpiring,
helping with field maintenance and whatever else I am capable of doing. I will remember that QYBA is a voluntary
organization and that all coaches are unpaid volunteers, who are providing their time and skills for the betterment of
all the children.
Additionally, I promise to uphold the rules and regulations of QYBA within my control all the while remembering that
the game is for the children. Be responsible for treating other players, fans/spectators, coaches and umpires with
respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.
