We expect both our parents players to represent the Jr Titan and Titan programs with class. We hold the parents to a higher of set of standards than we expect from our players. Parents are the role models. Please click on either link to consent to agreeing to our Code of Conduct. 

Parents Code of Conduct

1. Act as a leader. Leaders are people whose actions inspire others. A leader treats their children’s teammates, your peers, the coaches, opponents and officials in the same manner you would like to be treated. That means respect, dignity, and total sportsmanship at all times. If you set the example the players will follow.
2. Do not draw attention from the players. Youth basketball is for the kids. If you find yourself becoming too emotionally involved in what’s happening on the court, take a step back and relax.
3. Value your child’s commitment. Get your kids to practice and games on time. Make sure they have their uniform and sneakers. Encourage proper sleep and nutrition. The more your children see you acting responsibly, the more they will do the same.
4. Act in a respectful manner. Nothing is better for a young player than having their parents on hand to watch them play. And nothing is worse for a player than hearing a parent using foul language, booing, taunting, screaming or making comments at, or about, players, coaches, fans or officials (that includes your team as well as your opponent). Cheers, applause and encouragement are great!
5. Never question an official or express your feelings at a call. Officials are part of the game. Please demonstrate proper behavior to the players. You may not agree with a call, but it’s not your job (or the players or coaches either) to officiate the game. Accept the call and move on. Remember being an official is not an easy job and mistakes happen and are part of the game.
6. Total motivation through confidence. Try and identify a positive from every game or practice to help build confidence. A young player’s sense of achievement is the greatest motivator. Don’t analyze your young player’s performance following every game. They know how they played and
   if you give them the opportunity and situation they will open up to you. Let your children come to you for advice.
7. Basketball is fun, so help make sure it remains that way. Keep smiling. Encourage enjoyment, effort and participation over results. The joy is in the journey!
8. Good communication is key. If you must, talk with the coach after the game. Or better yet, use the 24 hour rule and wait until the next day if you have an issue to discuss. Let the heat of the moment pass. Never make a scene in front of the team, as it’s embarrassing for you, your children and the coach, and chances are nothing will get resolved. This is a two way street!
9. Enjoy the journey and put winning and losing into perspective. Games have winners and losers. Keep reminding your child about this reality and the need to deal with both outcomes.

1. Act as a leader. Leaders are people whose actions inspire others. A leader treats their teammates, coaches, opponents and officials in the same manner that they would like to be treated. That means respect, dignity, and total sportsmanship at all times. If you set the example, others will follow the example you set.
   
2. Demonstrate sportsmanship. Play fair. Be a leader. Set the example. Rise above poor behavior. Have fun. The way in which you conduct yourself has a long lasting effect on everybody around you. That’s what practicing good sportsmanship is all about.
3. Value the instruction of your coach. You may think your coach is the best, the worst or somewhere in between. It makes no difference. If you’re on the team, your job is to listen attentively to what your coach is saying. Coaches volunteer their time to work with your team. Don’t waste that time! Bring the ACE Factor to the gym with you every day!
4. Appreciate your teammates. Every player on your team has certain strengths and weaknesses. Be patient with your teammates as they improve their games — just as they will be patient with you improving your game. Basketball is a team sport. Success can only come when the entire team works and plays well together.
5. Never question an official or express your feelings at a call. Officials are part of the game. It is your job as a player to overcome adversity whether it is the opposing team, the physical facilities or the officials. Never talk back or show up an official. Remember being an official is not an easy job and mistakes happen.
6. Take time to learn the rules. If you don’t know the rules, you don’t know the game.
7. Actions speak. Hustle never goes out of style. Play harder on defense, make unselfish choices on offense, and get on the floor for loose balls. If playing hard isn’t part of your game — make it a part!
8. Get involved with your parents. Parents want the best in life for you. Let them be proud of you. Let them into your basketball world, but remind them that there are ups and downs and your goal is to get better and have fun. It will be good for you to have their support and fun for them to see you take responsibility as a member of the team.
9. Enjoy the journey. Win or lose, enjoy every moment on the court both during the games and during practice. Basketball should be challenging, tiring, hard work and fun!
