With coaches about to enter a new athletic season, it might be a good time for coaches to review the CHSCA Coaches Code of Ethics. Every coach knows that even the most talented athlete or team can always find areas to target for improvement. The same can be said of coaches' performances.

Take a few minutes to read the CHSCA Coaches Code of Ethics and consider making an item or two, points of emphasis for this year.

Coaches are role models for their athletes. Redoubling our efforts to function within the precepts of our Code of Ethics can do more good than just talking about sportsmanship.

Coaches know that actions speak louder than words. Here's a great way to set an example that your athletes will emulate. You might even want to post the Code as a statement of your expectations for your performance as a coach.

CHSCA Coaches Code of Ethics

As a professional educator and leader, the high school Coach or Athletic Director will:

· Exemplify the highest moral character as a role model for young people.

· Recognize the individual worth and reinforce the self-image of each team member.

· Encourage and assist team members to set personal goals to achieve their highest academic potential.

· Create a set of training rules for athletes that reflect and promote the positive values of abstaining from the use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

· Strive to develop the qualities of leadership, initiative, and good judgment in each team member.

· Communicate and interpret program goals and objectives to parents and community.

· Provide a safe environment for practice and competition.

· Gain an awareness of the importance of prevention, care and treatment of athletic injuries.

· Respect the integrity and judgment of the game official.

· Teach and abide by the rules of the game in letter and in spirit.

· Build and maintain ethical relationships with coaches and administrators.

· Strive for excellence in coaching skills and techniques through professional improvement.

· Promote personal fitness and good nutrition.

· Be modest in victory and gracious in defeat.

· Encourage a healthy respect for the overall athletic program and its vital roles in education.

· Serve as a role model for and promote good sportsmanship for competitors and spectators.
