NLPA CODE OF CONDUCT

NLPAFFL Code of Conduct

Youth sports programs play an important role in promoting the physical, social and emotional development of children. It is, therefore; essential for parents, coaches and officials to encourage youth athletes and embrace the values of good sportsmanship. Any adults who are spectators or involved in youth sports should lead by example by being models of good sportsmanship. This means we expect parents, guardians and spectators to demonstrate fairness, respect and self-control.

THEREFORE, ALL PARENTS, COACHES AND SPECTATORS WILL ABIDE

BY THE FOLLOWING RULES:

1.     I (and my guests) will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other event.
