For those involved in the Lady Colonials program as a parent, coach, or player, a code of conduct will be outlined. The Lady Colonials will encourage good sportsmanship and fair play. Each Lady Colonials coach will be totally responsible for the conduct of himself, his players and his respective spectators. Absolutely no abusive or vulgar language will be tolerated and could result in team penalties. Unsportsmanlike conduct or disrespect for the referees will not be tolerated as well. Both players and coaches will refrain at all times, from abusive and unwarranted disruptions.

At all times, players, coaches and parents must positively represent the club whether at a club-sponsored event or not.  As an individual, your actions could have negative repercussions for the club.  This conduct also applies away from the field in the community at large, especially while wearing Lady Colonial apparel.  If conduct deemed detrimental to the club is observed, the club and its board will levy sanctions depending on its severity.

Conduct of Respect: 

It is essential that players show respect to their coaches and that league officials show decency and consideration for their players.
 

Parent Conduct: 

It is imperative that parents, at all times, properly conduct themselves. Swearing, harassment or unwarranted physical contact will not be permitted or tolerated. In the event conduct is not acceptable, the Board of Directors may take disciplinary action which may include suspension from the program. No coach or spectator shall at any time use signs, gestures, degrading personal comments, or any act, which will reflect unfavorably upon opposing coaches, players or spectators. The Lady Colonials encourages and requires good sportsmanship and respect from all its participants. The Lady Colonials will enforce this policy to the maximum.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP/ CODES OF CONDUCT

 Coaches’ code: 

• Enthusiastically supports and practices "Everyone plays" and extends positive coaching philosophies of the Lady Colonials
• Be reasonable in your demands on the young player's time, energy, enthusiasm and performance on the field
• Impress your players that they must abide by the rules of the game at all times
• Develop team respect for the ability of opponents and for the judgment of referees and opposing coaches
• Ensure that your players' experience is one of fun and enjoyment (winning is only part of it). Players should never be yelled at or ridiculed for making mistakes or losing a game.
• Set a good example and be generous with your praise when it is deserved. Children need a coach that they can respect.
• Keep informed about sound principles of coaching, growth and development principles relating to children.
• Enlist the support of your team's parents in your efforts to develop the proper attitudes and values in the players.

Parent’s Code: 

• Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sports.
• Remember that children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not yours.
• Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than a victory.
• Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Your child will then be a winner, even in defeat.
• Do not ridicule your child for making a mistake or losing a game.
• Set a good example. Children learn best by good examples.
• Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
• Do not publicly question referee's judgment.
• Recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches, referees, and officials and give them their due respect. Without them, there would not be the Lady Colonials.
• Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities.

Player's Code: 

• Play for the fun of it, not just to please your parents or coach.
• Play by the rules.
• Never argue with or complain about the referee calls or decisions.
• Control your temper and most of all; resist the temptation to retaliate when you feel you have been wronged.
• Concentrate on playing lacrosse and on affecting the outcome of the game with your best effort.
• Be a good sport by cheering on all good plays, whether it is your team's or your opponent's.
• Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve skills and feel good. Don't be a "showoff".
• Cooperate with your coaches, teammates, opponents and referees.
