PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT AGREEMENT (PCOC)
I, {guardian1}, hereby pledge to provide support, care and encouragement for my son participating in The Express Baseball Club Organization by following the Parent Code of Conduct (PCOC):
· I, {guardian1}, will encourage sportsmanship by showing support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other Express Baseball Club sanctioned events.
· I, {guardian1}, will place the emotional and physical well-being of my son ahead of any personal desire to win. I will focus upon my son’s efforts and performance rather than the overall outcome of the game. I will never ridicule or yell at my son or any other player for making a mistake.
· I, {guardian1}, will set an example of sportsmanship for my son to follow. I will not, among other things, use profanity. I will not physically or verbally abuse any players, coach, officials or spectators. I will participate in positive cheers and remarks that encourage all players. I will discourage any cheers or remarks that redirect that focus, including those that taunt and intimidate opposing players, their fans and officials. I will be sensitive to my fellow parents and support all players on and off the field.
· I, {guardian1}, will help my son enjoy the experience of playing on a team by doing whatever I can, including being a respectful fan and providing whatever help is needed by the team and/or league according to my skills and availability.
· I, {guardian1}, will strive to learn, understand and respect the rules of the game, the officials who administer them, and the staff of The Express Baseball Club and their decisions.
· I, {guardian1}, will not be critical toward any Express Baseball Coach or Instructor. I will not interfere with or distract my son during an instructional session with an Express Instructor.
· I, {guardian1}, will NOT enter the dugout or playing field of a practice or event and agree NOT to warm-up my son prior to an event, rather let The Express Baseball Club coaches and Instructors do so.
· I, {guardian1}, will make every effort to get my son to all practices and games on time and pick him up promptly afterward if I cannot stay. I will also notify my son’s coaches and/or designated parent representative of any absences from practices or games at the time I become aware of them. I understand that if my son does not attend practice, his playing time may be effected. Missing more than 4 practices in a season without prior notice could result in separation from The Express Baseball Club. Failure to adhere to the above will terminate membership with The Express Baseball Club without refund. AND I, THE MINOR'S PARENT AND/OR LEGAL GUARDIAN, UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF BASEBALL ACTIVITIES AND THE MINOR'S EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITIES AND BELIEVE THE MINOR TO BE QUALIFIED, IN GOOD HEALTH, AND IN PROPER PHYSICAL CONDITION TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH ACTIVITY. I HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE RELEASEE'S FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ON THE MINOR'S ACCOUNT CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE "RELEASEES" OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS AND FURTHER AGREE THAT IF, DESPITE THIS RELEASE, I, THE MINOR, OR ANYONE ON THE MINOR'S BEHALF MAKES A CLAIM AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASEES NAMED ABOVE, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE RELEASEES FROM ANY LITIGATION EXPENSES, ATTORNEY FEES, LOSS LIABILITY, DAMAGE, OR COST ANY MAY INCUR AS THE RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIM.
