Parent(s) / Guardian(s) Code of Conduct:

The success of our youth football program requires a shared commitment among its coaches, players, and parents as well as an acknowledgement and appreciation the amount of time the coaches’ volunteer. Our program is intended to be a positive educational experience. Therefore, we ask you to pledge to be a positive role model and to keep in mind that coaches and board members are volunteers. Our program encourages sportsmanship, responsibility, and good citizenship both on and off the field.

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials. I will not dispute or argue the decision of a coach or official during a game.
I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect.
I will teach my child to play by the rules and resolve conflicts without violence.
I will never scorn or yell at any children for making a mistake or losing a game.
I will expect that my child’s practices and games be held in a safe and healthy environment.
I will praise my child for giving his/her best effort regardless of the game outcome.
I will respect the coaches’ time and ability and will not interfere with practices or games.
I will make every effort to ensure my child arrives to practices/games at the required time and notify the coaches if unable to attend. Unexcused absences, I will accept the Coaches’ decision regarding any discipline/suspension(s). I understand and agree that if my child does not fully participate in practices/games to their ability level, then at the coaches’ discretion my child may not be allowed to participate in the next practices/games as determined by the coaches.
I have the obligation to address any concerns that I may have at the time they occur with the Head Coach.
I will never enter any part of the playing field to film or take pictures at any time during a game. I will sit in the designated seating area during a game. If a designated area is not available, I will maintain a minimum 10-yard distance from players.
I will volunteer (if possible) my time to assist my child’s team when asked by either a coach or a board member. This may include assisting with game day preparations, events, fundraising, etc.
I agree to abide by the Timberland Wolves Junior Football Program Parent Code of Conduct and acknowledge that any violation of the above guidelines may subject me to disciplinary actions, which may include an oral or written warning or suspension from attendance at games and / or practices.

Participants Code of Conduct:

Please take the time to highlight the importance of commitment with your children by going over the participant’s code of conduct. Remember the game of football will be an enjoyable, fun team sport only when you conduct yourself as follows:

I will attend all practices/games except for illness, bereavement, religious obligations or schoolwork and I will notify my coach immediately if unable to attend. Unexcused absences from practices/games may be grounds for penalty or suspension or possible dismissal from the team.
I will arrive to practices/games on time, prepared and ready. I will fully participate to the best of my ability.
I agree to conduct myself with dignity as a participant of Timberland Wolves Junior Football and as a community citizen.
I will be fully accountable for my behavior and its outcome. Individual discipline is the only way to maintain team safety. I understand that discipline problems will not be tolerated and could result in my being suspended or removed from the team.
I will play by the rules and resolve conflicts without cheating or violence.
I will treat all participants including coaches and officials with respect and know that I too will be treated in the same manner.
I will not dispute or argue the decision of a coach or official.
I will not yell, taunt, or tease a teammate or opponent for any reason.
I will not use profane language or gestures.
I will avoid use of abusive drugs, steroids, alcohol and/or any other illegal substances, as they will impact my health.
I agree to put forth my best effort regardless of the outcome (knowing that I gave 100%) in order to prepare me for practices/games and to mitigate and prevent, to greatest extent possible, injury to myself and my teammates.
I will agree to maintain my studies and respect my teachers and counselors.
