We believe that good sportsmanship is essential for the development of our youth athletes. They learn by the examples that are set for them. North Marion United Elite believes that parents, athletes and coaches are all responsible for demonstrating positive behavior, both in and out of competition, as outlined in this Code of Conduct. 

Parents, Athletes, and Coaches are all required to read and agree to these points at the beginning of each season. 

Good behavior from all of us helps ensure a positive sports experience for every athlete.
