MAYHA Coach's Code of Conduct

Coach’s Code of Conduct

I, a MAYHA coach, understand that the Missoula Area Youth Hockey Association
takes pride in its coaches. As a key representative of MAYHA at any game and/or team function, it is critically important that coaches set an example for the team and the community.

Therefore, I understand and agree that I WILL:

● Encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, fans, volunteers and referees.
● Treat players, fellow coaches, opponents, facilities, fans and referees with respect.
● Refrain from the use of any inappropriate language within the presence of players.
● Respect and adhere to all rules and Code of Conduct, Responsibilities and Rights of MAYHA, MAHA, and USA Hockey.
● Abide by MAYHA’s Safe Sport and locker room policies.

 

I will NOT:

● Drink alcohol, use marijuana, smoke/chew tobacco, vape or use any illegal substance at the rink, before or after practices or around players.

 

If I cannot abide by these rules or violate any of them, I will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined in the MAYHA Guidebook.

 

Paid coaches only:

I understand that paid coaches are considered seasonal employees of MAYHA, employed for a set period each season and then released at the end of the season. Coaches may be recalled each year based on seniority and work performance and are not eligible for employment benefits unless stated otherwise.
