CAMILLUS YOUTH BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
COACHES' MANUAL
2009-2010 Season
CAMILLUS YOUTH BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the CYBA is to provide children in the local area the opportunity to learn and play the game of basketball, and to learn good sportsmanship. Our approach is as varied as the number of volunteers that help administer the program. Some may focus on defense, some on offense, but we all should maintain our focus on the qualities that will guide our children to successful adulthood.
Winning and success are wonderful rewards for hard work, however, let us not neglect the lessons learned from losing and the strength of character it takes to do either with dignity.
CYBA COACHES’ CODE OF CONDUCT
As a coach in the Camillus Youth Basketball Association, I support the CYBA Mission Statement and have received the CYBA Coaches’ Handbook, and agree I to adhere to the following standards for conduct:
A. The CYBA is an instructional league and as such the goal is teaching good sportsmanship and how to play the game, and not necessarily winning the game.
B. Each player will play at least one full quarter and sit one full quarter in each game, and I will attempt to give all equal playing time beyond that requirement.
C. The use of profanity is prohibited by anyone.
D. Arguing with referees, spectators, etc. is prohibited.
E. I will be on time for practices and arrive a few minutes early for games. If I am unable to attend I will make arrangements for representation to avoid rescheduling.
F. No physical contact with participants (other than an encouraging pat on the back).
G. Trash talking and taunting will not be allowed and I will encourage players to be respectful of all those participating in the program.
H. I realize that we are all role models and as such I will conduct myself with respect and common courtesy for others.
