JCW Foundation, Inc. – Coach’s Code of Conduct
As a volunteer coach with JCW Foundation, Inc., you play a vital role in shaping the character, confidence, and development of the youth we serve. To ensure a positive, safe, and supportive environment for all, we ask that every coach adhere to the following Code of Conduct:
1. Prioritize Fun & Development
We will make practices engaging and enjoyable while dedicating time to developing players’ skills, teamwork, and love for the game.
2. Encourage Positive Behavior
All coaches and life coaches will model and promote good sportsmanship and respectful behavior—on and off the field.
3. Stay Substance-Free at Events
The use of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol is strictly prohibited at all JCW Foundation activities. This applies to coaches, parents, and spectators.
4. Learn & Teach the Game
We will understand the rules of the game and actively teach them to our players to promote fairness and knowledge.
5. Lead by Example
We will lead with integrity—demonstrating positive behavior through our words, actions, and attitude at all times.
6. Prioritize Player Wellbeing
We will place the emotional and physical wellbeing of our players ahead of personal desires to win games.
7. Use Respectful Language
We will speak respectfully and avoid profanity, bullying, or derogatory comments. Constructive feedback is welcome—tearing kids down is not.
8. Treat Everyone with Respect
We will treat players, parents, referees, and fellow coaches with dignity and respect at all times.
9. Support Every Player
We will help each child improve and contribute, regardless of skill level, and promote equal opportunities to play.
10. Value Individuality
We will recognize and respect the uniqueness of each child, demonstrating concern for individual needs and growth.
11. Ensure a Safe Environment
We will provide a safe, inclusive space for all players, families, and officials during every practice and game.
12. Monitor Conditions & Equipment
We will stay alert to potential hazards—such as inclement weather, unsafe fields, or faulty equipment—and take prompt action.
13. Supervise Responsibly
We will maintain appropriate supervision of all players during practices and games to ensure safety and accountability.
By coaching with JCW Foundation, Inc., you pledge to uphold these standards and act in the best interest of the youth and families we serve. Thank you for your commitment to creating a positive and empowering experience for all.
