AAU Code of Conduct

PARENTS AND FANS

 

1. I will demonstrate positive support for all players, coaches, contest administrators and officials at every game and encourage other spectators to participate in the spirit of good sportsmanship.

3. I will attempt to learn the rules of the game in order to be a more informed spectator.

6. I will remain mindful that my conduct influences the respect that other athletes, coaches, parents and the public hold for Project105 Athletics and our community.

8. I will not berate the officials or cheer in an objectionable manner.
9. I will not use profanity or offensive language.  I will be respectful while players shoot free throws.
10. I will accept the coach’s tactical decisions (player positioning, playing time, etc.) without complaint or debate, and express any concerns through proper channels in a dignified manner.
