Department of Community Services
Sports Code of Conduct

Purpose and Intent
Participation in sports can be a great learning experience for players, coaches, referees, parents, and administrators alike. These experiences often transfer into our daily lives at home, at school, and in the office during our recreational time.

Charles County Department of Community Services Recreation Division has developed the following Code of Conduct to establish standards for participation in all sports programs. All participants are encouraged to adopt these policies in order to provide a positive and rewarding experience for everybody involved in the programs. The Code of Conduct is based on sportsmanship and fair play while creating a fun and positive environment for all involved.

Player's

• Play for fun and enjoyment of the sport.
• Winning is a consideration, but not the only one, nor the most important one.
• Work hard to improve your skills.
• Be a team player-get along with and cooperate with your teammates.
• Learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and discipline.
• Learn the rules and play by them. Always be a good sport.
• Respect your coaches, teammates, parents, opponents, and the officials.
• Never argue with decision of official or coach.
• Respect the school and its facilities; without them, you wouldn't have a place to play.

Parent's & Spectator's

• Display good sportsmanship. Always respect players, coaches, and officials.
• Know and study the rules of the game and support the officials.
• Act appropriately; do not taunt or disturb other fans. Enjoy the game.
