Building a Positive Sports Experience for All
At Youth Sports & Fitness, we believe that sports should be fun, safe, and rewarding for every child. To create a positive experience, we ask all parents, players, and coaches to follow our sportsmanship guidelines and participation rules.
Sportsmanship Requirements
All parents and guardians must complete Sportsmanship Training before registering their child for Youth Sports. This ensures everyone understands the values of respect, teamwork, and fair play.
The NAYS (National Alliance for Youth Sports) Code of Ethics outlines standards for coaches and officials, emphasizing player safety, fair play, respect, and responsible conduct. It includes commitments such as prioritizing children’s well‑being, avoiding drugs/alcohol at youth events, practicing first aid, teaching rules, and modeling sportsmanship.
