Silver Lake Youth Football, Inc

Parent’s Code of Conduct

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in football by following this “Parent’s Code of Conduct”:

·        Ensure players timely arrival and pick up at all scheduled practices, games and scrimmages.  Including adherence to the SLYF Weather Policy.

·        Ensure players are properly equipped. 

·        Report player injuries to the head coach. If a player has been excused from a practice or game for any medical reason/injury submission of a doctor’s note is necessary for the player to return to future practices and games.  

·        Allow the coaches to do the coaching; playing time, position placement and game strategy is the sole responsibility of the coaching staff.

·        Demonstrate good sportsmanship at games and practices - cheer on and encourage. 

·        Show respect for all coaches, parents, opponents, and officials.

·        Support coaches and officials working with my child in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.

·        Bring any parental issues, questions, or concerns to the Head Coach first, then one of the Coordinators and finally the Board of Directors in a timely manner.

·        Participate in SLYF by volunteering according to the guidelines set in the Parent Participation Agreement. 

·        Maintain and clean assigned equipment/uniforms during the season.  Return them in the same condition received.  Failure to do so will give SLYF the authority to    cash my equipment/uniform deposit check as well as legal and collection costs assessed to me.

·        Abstain from the possession and use of illegal substances and/or alcohol at practices, games and scrimmages.

·        Parents & siblings will stay off the fields during practice, games or scrimmages.

·        Coaches are not responsible for players after their scheduled game has ended and coaches have dismissed them.
