Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct
Parents/Guardians are vital to the development of young athletes. Whether sitting in the
stands or helping out as a volunteer, parents/guardians must set a positive example.
Parents/guardians involved in youth sports, should be models of good sportsmanship and
lead by example on and off the playing field. The North Hills Athletic Association requires
that all Parents, Guardians, Coaches, and Volunteers read, accept, and follow this
Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct. As a NHAA Parent/Guardian, you hereby agree to:

Give constructive criticism during a private moment, never in front of other parents,
guardians, players, officials, spectators, etc.
Support your coach, and refrain from excessive “sideline coaching” from the stands.
Refrain from using profanity.
Abide by doctor’s decision in all matters of players health and injuries, and physical
ability to play.
Accept the decisions of officials on the field as being fair and called to the best
ability of the officials.
Stay off the field and remain under control in order to set a good example for
players and other spectators.
Not criticize an opposing team, its players, fans, coaches or team, by words or

Support the coaches, players and officials and help teach the value of commitment
to the teams, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play.

conduct with any coach, parent, player, participants, officials or any other attendee.
I have read the Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct of the North Hills Athletic Association,
and understand both the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian and the consequences that
can occur for failure to uphold the standards set by the North Hills Athletic Association. I
understand that inappropriate behavior is cause for immediate ejection from the premises
and that repeat offenses may result in being barred from future games and/or league
sponsored activities. I also acknowledge that The North Hills Athletic Association will review
each incident on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to decide further discipline up
to and including suspension of both myself and my child for the remainder of the season
and/or all future participation.
