Parent, Player and Coach Code of Conduct

 

“Youth Sports should be fun for players, coaches and parents”

 

Pittsburgh Select Lacrosse Club, LLC (PSLC) believes that all of our children should be allowed to develop a love for each sport they participate in while also leaning the value of sportsmanship. With this in mind, PSLC firmly believes that all parents and coaches play an important role in our programs, and that young athletes learn valuable lessons by watching the behaviors and attitudes of the adults who supervise their activities. We take very seriously our responsibility to help our players learn and demonstrate fundamentals, as well as proper knowledge and respect of the game.  We are committed to helping parents in building character in our players.

 

PSLC also recognizes that sports are competitive by nature. Therefore, PSLC pledges to create a positive learning experience where our children learn the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship, while at the same time learn to play and respect the game. 

 

The PSLC Code of Conduct and the Practice Good Sportsmanship Policy are in place to help support our players, coaches and parents.

 

Please make sure you read and adhere to the following PSLC Code of Conduct Policies at all times.
