PRF Code of Conduct
Poor conduct is detraction from the fun and innocence of the game of youth football and is a poor example to set for our young boys and girls and will not be tolerated!
The board would like to address our Code of Conduct in regards to all PRF coaches, officials, parents, players, and volunteers, to make sure they understand the PRF board’s position on misconduct toward others. If any volunteer, coach, parent, official, player, or league official, is harassed in any way, before, during, or after a ballgame, or if any PRF coach, official, parent, player, or volunteer conducts himself or herself in any manner detrimental to the league or to the players, officials, coaches, volunteers, or parents the offending party will be subject to disciplinary action and/or removal from the park.
If a PRF coach or player is ejected from a game for poor conduct, the league will sanction that coach, or player with a minimum one-game suspension and place the coach and/or player on probation for the remainder of the season.
- Any subsequent poor conduct will result in the immediate suspension and/or dismissal of their coaching, or playing duties.
- All such poor conduct, whether resulting in ejection or suspensions … or witnessed by a board member … will be seriously considered when the board selects coaches, and players for future seasons.
- Examples of poor behavior includes but is not limited to: verbal/physical abuse of anyone, use of offensive language, abuse of playing equipment and/or facilities, inciting or encouraging abusive and/or dangerous actions by the players or coaches on the field.
- Games will be stopped to deal with any violation of the Code of Conduct policy.
Coaches need to communicate to their parents, coaches, players, and other volunteers, PRF’s strong stance on exhibiting appropriate conduct toward others when at any location where a PRF team plays or practices. Please be good ambassadors for Portage Rocket Football!!!
