Coaches' Code of Conduct

Coaches serve a number of important roles such as teacher, role model, mentor, guardian and trainer. Good coaches provide athletes with positive experiences in sports participation and help nurture sportsmanship. In order to ensure the quality of coaches, the Hong Kong Coaching Committee has formulated a Code of Conduct for coaches to follow:

• ► Treat each athlete as an individual and help him/her to reach full potential.
• ► Promote fair play and show respect for other teams. Accept both the guidelines and the spirit of the rules that define and govern his/her sport.
• ► Keep up with the latest coaching techniques and seek continual improvement.
• ► Provide a safe environment. Check that equipment and facilities are safe.
• ► Ensure training and competition are suitable for the age and fitness level of the athletes.
• ► Let athletes know the benefit of sport and encourage them to participate in sport throughout their lives.
• ► Do not overtrain athletes. Maintain athletes’ interest and promote their enthusiasm towards sports.
• ► Always lead by example and do not speak foul language.
• ► Avoid any form of harassment towards your athletes. This includes harassment on sex, race and disability.
• ► In case of inadequacies on this code of conduct, the Coaching Committee reserves the right to make any amendments and it will be effective immediately.
• Preventing Sexual Harassment
• In general, sexual harassment refers to any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature which is perceived by the victim, or a bystander, to be offensive, humiliating or intimidating. Sexual harassment can consist of or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts or a single intense or severe act. Under the law, there are two types of sexual harassment:
• (i) Misuse of authority. This refers to demanding sexual favours in return for access to resources, promotion, team selection, etc.
• (ii) Hostile Environment. This refers to unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature (physical, verbal or non-verbal) which creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
• a. a. Coaches do not engage in sexual harassment towards any individual or group
• b. b. Coaches always treat sexual-harassment complainants and respondents with dignity and respect.
• c. c. Coaches do not deny an athlete the right to participate based on the athlete having made, or being the subject of, sexual harassment allegations.
• Preventing Other Forms of Harassment
• a. Coaches do not engage in behavior that is harassing, demeaning, or disrespectful to persons with whom they interact in their work based on factors such as those persons’ age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, family status, or socioeconomic status.
• b. Physical contact between a coach and an athletes is sometimes necessary during the coaching process, and coaches should ensure that no action on their part could be misconstrued or experienced as inappropriate, and that any NSA guidelines on this matter are followed. Particularly, the needs of athletes with disabilities and others who may be vulnerable must be taken into account.
• In case of inadequacies on this code of conduct, the Coaching Committee reserves the right to make any amendments and it will be effective immediately.
