Info

A primary mission of the YSF Program is to promote lifelong health, fitness, and good nutritional habits. Therefore, snacks at games and practices must be nutritious. Cookies, cakes, sodas, candy, and chips should be avoided. Recommended snacks are fruit, 100% fruit juice, water, granola bars, trail mix, crackers, raw vegetables, cheese, etc. Only commercially prepared and packaged food should be used. <strong>Parent</strong>s should check with coaches and parents to ensure that children do not have food allergies before offering snacks to children/youth after practices and/or games. Snacks may not be eaten inside gymnasiums or within outdoor playing areas to include the dugout or sidelines. INJURIES Players injured during practices or games who are treated by a physician must receive a written release from the physician prior to participating in the next scheduled practice or game. Players injured during practices or games that do not require treatment by a physician may reenter the practice or game only after the coach determines that they player can perform at the same level of safety as prior to receiving the injury. Players receiving injuries that require a cast (i.e., a rigid dressing for a broken bone) are not permitted to participate in practices or games until a physician removes the cast. Coaches will complete a Child Accident/Incident Report form for any injuries and forward it to the YSF Director. CHILD/YOUTH BEHAVIOR Children and youth are expected to display appropriate behavior at all times. A sports team is a group setting in which an individual’s needs must blend with the needs of the group. Not all children/youth are adaptable to this situation and may “act out”, often with disruptive behaviors. Disruptive behaviors include: Extreme aggression toward self, peers, and/or coaching staff (e.g., hitting, pushing, kicking) or unsafe behavior that threatens the safety and welfare of others. Deliberate destruction of sports equipment or property. Inappropriate conversations, foul language, or verbal abuse towards others. Inappropriate physical advances towards others (e.g., sexual advances, intimidation, bullying, fighting). Anytime a child/youth’s behavior is violent, disruptive, or unmanageable, or if the behavior continually takes the coach and volunteers away from the team, it compromises the safety of the other children/youth on the team. YSF staff and coaches will work together with parents to determine why this behavior is happening and how it can be changed. However, if this behavior is severe (e.g., the child or youth has injured another person), the child/youth may be immediately suspended from the team, either temporarily or permanently. 58
CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR COACH If you have a problem with your coach, we encourage you to work it out between the two of you if possible. The next step would be to document the concern and give it to the YSF Director. If a compromise cannot be reached, a review committee will be formed to assess the situation. A meeting will be called and the coach will be asked to present his or her side at the meeting. Army regulation requires that all coaches and volunteers working with children/youth be screened by submitting their name to the Army Central Registry, Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Control Program, Behavioral Medicine, Criminal Investigation Division, Local Military Police, and the Unit Commander for prior instances of reported misconduct involving children, assault, substance abuse, larceny, or related misconduct. NYSA COACHES’ CODE OF ETHICS PLEDGE I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win. I will treat each player as an individual remembering the large range of emotional and physical development for the same age group. I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players. I will promise to review and practice the basic first aid principles needed to treat injuries of my players. I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players. I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players. I will provide a sports environment for my team that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and I will refrain from their use at all youth sports events. I will be knowledgeable in the rules of each sport that I coach and I will teach these rules to my players. I will use coaching techniques appropriate for each of the skills that I teach. I will remember that I am a youth sports coach and that the game is for children and not adults. I hereby pledge to live up to my membership as an NYSA coach by following the NYSA Coaches’ Code of Ethics. 59
