Fair Play Code
I will be reasonable when scheduling games and practices remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations.
I will teach my players to play fair and to respect the Rules, Officials, Opponents and teammates.
I will ensure all players receive equal instruction, discipline, support and appropriate fair play time.
I will not ridicule or yell at my players for making mistakes or for performing poorly. I will remember that children play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.
I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the players’ ages and ability.
I will remember players need a coach they can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example.
I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills.
I will promote the combined values of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and the Simcoe & District Minor Hockey Association: fair play, fun, excellence, good citizenship, integrity & honesty, equity and respect.
I agree to abide by the principles of the fair play code as set by the Simcoe & District Minor Hockey Canada, the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and supported by the Hockey Association.
I also agree to abide by the Rules, Regulations and Decisions as set by Simcoe & District Minor Hockey Association.
