Player Behavior Policy: East Limestone Youth Football Association (ELYFA) seeks to encourage good sportsmanship, fair play and team spirit among all of its players. Because the Association is about working with 5-12 year old children, occasional lapses in behavior of the players are to be expected. However, repeated misbehavior which violates the basic spirit that ELYFA and its players are striving for, will not be tolerated. Examples of such misbehavior include, but are not limited to, repeated verbal abuse of teammates, coaches, spectators or opponents, repeated use of profanity, aggression toward any other players, particularly physical aggression, and repeated refusal to cooperate with the coaches or league officials including the referees. Any such behavior when observed by an ELYFA Board member or reported in writing by an ELYFA coach, parent, or spectator, will result in a review of the incident by the Board. The Board can recommend any action taken for or against the misbehaved player. For a valid first infraction, a warning will be issued to the player and sent to his/her parents. Further actions may be recommended if the Board deems appropriate. All action will be Board approved. If the player is involved in further incidences, automatic suspension for a set number of games is a likely recommendation by the Board. After any suspension, a player-parent Board conference is required before the player can resume play. If the player is allowed to continue to participate after suspension, and misbehavior continues beyond this, the Board will be free to suspend the player for the remainder of the year with no reimbursement of the registration fee. Any suspension will result in disqualifying the player from any post-season play. It is the intent of East Limestone Youth Football Association to create an atmosphere where all player participants can have fun, learn football/cheerleading, and most of all develop the attitudes and good behavior associated with team sportsmanship and fair play. Parents Behavior Policy: This policy is intended to describe the procedure that East Limestone Youth Football Association will follow to address any instances. It is not the intent of this policy to try and define every instance that might be described as constituting parental misbehavior. We will, however, make mention to certain types of known behavior that we have experienced in the past and will use these examples to illustrate unacceptable parental behavior. Such examples are, but not limited to, the following: 1) Boisterous taunting of referees, coaches, league officials or players in a negative manner. 2) The use of profanity, vulgar or demeaning language. 3) Embarrassing, negative remarks aimed at your own child while he /she is playing a game. 4) The use of Alcoholic beverage while at any football field. 5) Threatening of aggressive remarks towards referees, coaches, league officials, players or fans. 6) Physical confrontations with referees, coaches, league officials, players, or fans. 7) Failure to remove yourself from the field, after you have been ejected from the stands. 8) Failure to remove yourself from any area around the field, after you have been ejected from those areas. Parents please understand that any such behavior as listed above will be dealt with by ELYFA in the following manner: You will first be addressed by your coach and asked politely to calm down. If you should persist then you will be warned by the officials officiating the game to control your behavior. If you continue to present a problem you will be ejected from the game and the game will not resume until you have left the premises. If you fail to leave the premises, a league official will be summoned to escort you away from the playing field. You will be allowed a chance to vent your frustrations and asked to cool down. If you cannot do so then you will be ejected from the football field area. If you fail to do so and refuse to calm down, the Limestone County Sheriff Department will be called to arrest you and take you from the school property. It is our hope that we do not have to initiate any of the above steps necessary to control parental behavior. It is the intent of East Limestone Youth Football Association to create a family atmosphere for the enjoyment and recreation of hundreds of parents, coaches and players who are out to enjoy team and family time together. We hope to provide the bases for all players to have fun, learn the game of football/cheerleading and most of all develop the attitudes and good behavior associated with sportsmanship, fair play and team work. We are asking you as parents to help us reach our goal. Please lead by example and remember that hundreds of small eyes and ears are looking and listening to everything you say and do. 2017 East Limestone Youth Football Association
