Code of Conduct
- Children play OYF Football for their own fun! They are not here to
entertain you; they are not miniature professional athletes, and this
is not a "farm club" for an athletic career.
- Encourage fair play. Always play by the rules.
- Be supportive, i.e. be sure the player attends practices; is picked
up on time; and attends games.
- Show respect for everyone involved in the program, especially
the referees and the opposing team. Wait until after the game
before approaching the coach with questions or concerns.
- Recognize the value and importance of your child's coach or
coaches. They are volunteers who donated a tremendous amount of
time and effort to make this a positive experience for your child and
you. Please maintain respect for these volunteers at all
times.
- At games, make sure your comments are positive, or make no comment
at all. Parents and spectators are required to be on the opposite
side of the field from the teams at all times during games. Applaud
good plays and efforts by the opposing team, as well as your own
team. NEVER ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a
game.
- Condemn unsportsmanlike conduct in any way, shape or form.
- Respect the decisions of the referees - even if you do not agree
with them. We do promote a Jr. Referee program, please respect these
volunteers - this is their training ground as well.
- Please remember, as a parent, you are a role model - do not use
profane language or harass the players or referees.
- Any parents or spectators who do not abide by this Code of Conduct
will be asked to leave the fields.
