UNBECOMING CONDUCT IN YOUTH SPORT

As the Director of Children's Sports Programming for the town of Clarington, you are organizing a Soccer League for girls and boys from six to ten years old. Experience tells you that the parents and kids of Clarington are a competitive group. At the winter hockey leagues, several groups of parents were banned, and suspensions for violent behavior were common among the participants. In an effort to be proactive and eliminate such behaviors in the Soccer League, you have developed a Code of Conduct for both participants and spectators.

1.Describe your Code of Conduct for directing the behavior of (a) participants, (b) parents, and (c) general spectators.

2.How do you plan to communicate the Code of Conduct?

3.How do you plan to enforce the Code of Conduct?

4.How might you go about getting both participants and spectators to buy in to the Code?

5.What ethical dilemmas might you face implementing the policy, and how will you solve them?
