| | Parents, and Coaches.
Our leagues grow every year, necessitating more Coaches. We have a difficult time filing all the coaching positions needed. Most of our coaches started with "O.K., I'll do it but I don't know much about coaching". LMYA provides coaching clinics at no charge. We also have a library where books and videos can be borrowed.
We ask that parent's support their child's coach, get to know their child's coach, and help out whenever they can do so.
| |
|
| | Attend the Coaches Meeting. Respect and care for the Leagues equipment and the fields we are allowed to use. Inform the Equipment Coordinator if equipment is lost or stolen.
Contact each child on his/her roster on the dates prescribed. Hold a team meeting to open communications with the parents and have them sign the Spectators Code of Conduct. Supply a team roster and request assistance with coaching and recruit a team parent.
Have at least one extra parent at practice in case of injury. Have each childs registration form with you at all games and practices. They contain valuable medical information and consent. Remain after practice until all players have been claimed. Advise parents of canceled practices and/or games.
Learn, teach and abide by both the basic rules of the game and The LMYA modifications. Play every child at least ½ of every game.
Enforce the practice of sportsmanship by all team members and their parents. Encourage and support other teams players as they would want other coaches to encourage their players.

| | The Lafayette-Moraga Youth association (LMYA) is a volunteer-staffed organization that offers recreational sports activities for children of the community. The primary goal of the LMYA program is to provide a safe, enjoyable environment in which our children can develop sports skills, as well as experience in a positive manner the emotional and social benefits of team play. All children participating in LMYA's programs are guaranteed playing time. The guiding principle behind the enforcement of this code is that the behavior of everyone involved in LMYA should enhance the children's safe enjoyment of the sport.

- Treat opposing coaches, participants and spectators with respect.
- Instruct participants in sportsmanship and demand they display good sportsmanship.
- Coach in a positive manner and do not use derogatory comments or abusive language.

|
|
|
| | - Any complaints concerning a coach who has violated this code shall be first brought to the attention of the Sport Commissioner.
- All complaints will be thoroughly investigated and penalties may occur at the discretion of the Sport Commissioner, whose decision will be final.
- Coaches may be placed on probation or suspended from LMYA activities for violation of this code.
- Any coach suspended from all LMYA activities for violation of this code, will receive a letter from the LMYA Board. After a reasonable period of time, not less than one week, that individual may apply to the Board to be reinstated as a coach.
| |
|
|
|
| | - Any coach ejected from a game because of unsportsmanlike conduct will be suspended for the next two events and may be subject to additional penalties.
- Any coach who physically abuses another person will be suspended for the remainder of the season and may be disqualified from any subsequent LMYA participation.

| |
|
| | Serious misbehavior will not be tolerated. The safety of other players, and the smooth flow of practices and games are primary considerations. A coach should discipline minor infractions in a consistent manner. A serious problem will result in a parent conference which could lead to loss of game-playing time. If a player is having trouble maintaining proper behavior at practice, the coach has the right to require that a parent stay for the entire practice. The Board should be contacted, by the coach, if behavioral problems persist.
| |
|
|
| | Talk to him/her. Explain your concerns. Chances are other parents have the same concerns. Offer to help coach the team. The more active you become, the more your child's coach will accept your suggestions. Should you be unable to resolve a problem, send the Board a written explanation of your dissatisfaction or email us the complaint.
