Conduct
It is a privilege and an honor to be chosen to coach a Mahwah Youth Sports team. A coach is a teacher, a leader, and a role model for each player under his/her supervision. Coaches work in collaboration with commissioners and officials to support the athletic program in all policies, rules and regulations. To remain a Mahwah Youth Sports Coach in good standing, each coach must continue to conduct himself/herself in a way that encourages good sportsmanship, safety, and the development of the young athlete.
All coaches much sign and submit the "TMYSB Coaches Code of Conduct" form.
We also strongly suggest you provide your players' parents with this "Parent Pledge."
