Linden Youth Football and Cheer

ADULT CODE OF ETHICS

Linden Youth Football and Cheer is a non-profit volunteer organization, with the sole purpose of promoting youth tackle football, competitive cheerleading and academic excellence. These goals cannot be achieved without the participation and cooperation of parents, guardians and other adults and youth volunteers.

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in this program by following this Code of Ethics:

I will encourage and demonstrate by example the importance of good sportsmanship and positive support for all players, instructors, coaches and officials at all practices and games.

I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of my personal desire to win.

I will insist on a safe anti-tobacco and drug-free environment.

I will assist in teaching my child that rules are important and must be followed to win a team competition.

I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.

I understand that verbal and physical abuse is not to be tolerated against anyone in this association including profanity and foul language.

I understand that racial epithets or negative innuendo related to a person’s race, religion or ethnicity will not be tolerated.

I will respect all officials, coaches, instructors and volunteers.

I agree to not engage in divisive activity such as verbal or physical confrontation.

I will not create conflict by slander, malicious rumors or threats, nor will I entice another to do so.

I understand that LYFC has adopted a NO TOLERANCE POLICY. If I violate any of the Code of Ethics it may result in termination of my child’s and my participation from any LYFC activity for not less that the balance of the current season, or as determined by the LYFC Board, the loss of my membership permanently.
