This Code of Conduct is to govern the relationship between the Coaches, Athletes, Officials and Parents.
Coaches play a critical role in the personal as well as the athletic development of the players.
They must understand and respect the inherent power imbalance that exists in these relationships and the Coaches must be careful not to abuse it. The Coaches and Officials must also recognize that they are important conduits through which the values and goals of the Richmond Boys Fastball Association are expressed and communicated. How an athlete regards his sport is often dependent upon the behavior of the Coaches and Officials. The following Code of Conduct has been developed to govern the behavior of Coaches, Officials and volunteer parents, to allow them to assist the Athletes in becoming well rounded, self confident and productive human beings. Treat everyone fairly within the context of their activity, regardless of gender, place of origin, colour, sexual orientation, religion, political belief or economic status.
