Rules of Conduct

I hereby pledge to conduct myself in accordance with the JYFA Rules of Conduct:

  1. I understand this league is for the youth of the Community; it is a "Players" League not a Coaches League.
     
  2. I will place the emotional and physical well being of the JYFA players ahead of any personal desire to win. I will not unnecessarily run up the score against an opponent.
     
  3. I will treat each player as an individual and with respect.
     
  4. I will provide a safe playing situation for all players by emphasizing fundamentals, techniques, proper skills and sportsmanship.
     
  5. I will organize and attend practices so as to challenge, instruct, and prepare the boys for success.
     
  6. I will notify players of all JYFA events and attend them, to the extent possible, including scheduled games and practices, picture day, and the Kick-Off Classic.
     
  7. I will provide an environment that will be free of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and profanity in accordance with all Jackson Local Schools’ polices.
     
  8. I will respect the opposing coaches and players.
     
  9. I will not argue calls with the game officials or referees or opposing team. I will conduct myself calmly when discussing rule interpretation.
     
  10. I will be responsible for the actions of my team’s coaches, players, and spectators.
     
  11. I will abide by the JYFA playing rules, coaches’ rules of conduct and all Board policies, objectives, and bylaws.

I understand that unsportsmanlike behavior can lead to my suspension from and possible forfeiture of a game. I understand that violating the rules of conduct may also lead to my suspension. I understand that in these instances I may be required to appear before the Board to explain my actions and that the Board may take whatever action it deem necessary.
