Players please take time to familiarize yourself with the Player Code of Conduct. All players must adhere to the Code of Conduct in order to participate in North Plainfield Recreation sports.
As a player in a Borough-sponsored program, I endorse the belief that Sportsmanship is Foremost in North Plainfield Athletics & Activities. In keeping with the spirit of this belief, I pledge to the best of my ability, to:
- Remember first and foremost I am participating in sports to have fun.
- Remember that winning doesn’t equate to success in sports.
- Remember that disrespectful or inappropriate behavior is not acceptable during any and all team functions.
- Treat all practice and game facilities, and property in those facilities, with the same respect that I would show to the belongings in my own home.
- Abide by the rules of the game, fair play, listen to my coaches and accept the rulings of the games officials without complaint.
- Be a good teammate, by avoiding arguments and offering encouragement to my teammates when they make mistakes.
- Learn from any mistakes I might make during a practice or game
- Conduct myself in a manner and meaning of “Good Sportsmanship”. By winning without gloating and losing without complaining and by treating teammates opponents, coaches, game officials, my parents or guardians and the game with respect.
- I have discussed the Code of Conduct with a Parent or Guardian and I understand its meaning and what is expected of me as a participant in a Borough of North Plainfield-sponsored athletic programs & activities. I also understand that any violation of the Code of Conduct is subject to review by the North Plainfield Recreation Commission and may result in the loss of my privilege to further participate in this or any other program.
