Required Code of Ethics and Responsibilites
In the coaching profession, the primary purpose of a code of ethics is to clarify and distinguish
ethical and approved professional practices from those which are detrimental and harmful.
The ethics code and responsibilities which follow are required behaviors and as such are subject to sanctioning by Region Boards and the USHAA Executive Committee.
Another purpose is to emphasize and confirm values of the athletic programs in schools
across the nation. Applied to the coaching profession, ethics will help develop a standard of character in which the public has trust and confidence. The success of the principles and standards emphasized in the code is dependent upon those for whom they have been prepared - the coach.
