Our adults' primary purpose will be to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and game skills while remembering that the kids are playing to have fun.  The adults will:

• Exhibit sportsmanlike conduct at all practices and games
• Stress "playing hard to win" over winning itself
• Maximize praise and minimize criticism
• Make corrections calmly, not screaming at your child or other players
• Not ridicule your child or other players and not allow your players to tease or taunt opponents
• Not yell at officials, coaches, managers and/or other children
• Maintain self-control as a spectator at all times
• Make all practices and games fun for everyone
• Not use profanity towards players, coaches, officials and other parents and/or spectators
• Continue to teach game skills and rules of the game
• Follow all rules and regulations of the Police Athletics League
• Not use alcohol, drugs or tobacco when attending practices and games
• Avoid any inappropriate and/or unlawful physical contact between officials, coaches, managers, players, parents or spectators.

Any violation of this Code of Ethics, PAL or SSJSB rules, or criminal coduct may result in punitive action ranging from (but not limited to):

• Game ejections (ejection constitutes leaving the area and out of sight and sound)
• Game forfeitures
• Suspensions

Thank you; following these rules will ensure a positive and safe atmosphere for all of our young players and will help create a memorable and rewarding playing experience.
