CODE OF CONDUCT

We pride ourselves on maintaining a positive environment for our young boys and girls to grow and develop. We embrace this Code of Conduct. If at anytime, you are displaying behavior opposite of this code we reserve the right to take action; including up to removal from practice, games, and other Sanger Youth Football and Cheer events and future events. We expect you to maintain this code at all times. By registering you have checked that you agree to this statement and the Code of Conduct maintained within.

Thank you! Always with pride!!

I hereby agree to provide a positive support, care, and encouragement for my child participating in the Sanger Youth Football and Cheer Organization by supporting and following this code of conduct:

I shall encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every practice, game, or other youth sporting events.
I shall not contact any coaches after a game about player issues and shall respect a 48 hr “cooling off” period between the game and the first practice after.
I shall place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of any personal desire to win.
I shall insist that my child plays in a healthy and safe environment.
I shall emphasize the benefit of skill development and how practices will enhance my child’s game performance.
I shall ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect.
I shall applaud good effort in victory or defeat, emphasize the positive points of the game, and never criticize players.
I shall remember that the game is for children, not adults.
I shall assist in my child’s participation by volunteering my time for concessions, gate ticket sales, “chain gang”, and other activities to support the success of this league and his team.
I shall support my child’s team rules, coach’s rules, and the rules of the Youth Football League.
I shall not gossip or spread rumors about players, coaches, or other parents.
I shall welcome visiting teams and treat them as I would like to be treated.
I shall never lose sight of the fact that I am a role model. I understand that children imitate their role models and by acting appropriately, I will be modeling what I expect of my child.
I will not post, publicly display, in any electronic means, any items that will negatively reflect on anyone participating in the league, the Board of Directors, and any member of their team organization.

Parent Code of Conduct Consequences
Violation of the Parent Code of Conduct is detrimental to the team and may be brought forward to the participating team’s board by either the team’s head coach, assistant coaches, or a parent on the same team. A meeting with the board will occur as soon as possible. The board may set forth a penalty ranging from a verbal warning up to suspending a parent from all team functions for one week to the duration of the season. Continual abuse of conduct may result in permanent removal from the games and functions. During the sanction, the parent will not be allowed in any facility during a youth football event, regardless if that parent has another child on a different team.

I understand and will support the organization and mission.
