Staff Registration
All League and Team staff members and volunteers must officially register with the Federation. As of 2019, there are no paper forms needed for staff registration. All staff members must file their information and agree to the code of conduct below.
Staff Code of Conduct
We are expected to conduct ourselves in a civil manner at Youth Football Federation activities & events, and that failure to do so may result in fines and other sanctions up-to and including expulsion of me and my family from the Federation and other possible sanctions. As a Team/League Staff Member (Coach, Team Mom/Dad, Administrator, etc.), I shall conform to the following:
I hereby agree I will provide the team my support in its participation in the Youth Football Federation programs by following the organization’s Code of Conduct, and by abiding by all organization rules and decisions. Furthermore, I hereby consent to the Youth Football Federation to perform any background check desired.
- Will promote a positive attitude and lead by example.
- Will stress discipline, teamwork, and respect with each and every athlete.
- Will address parent and player concerns in an appropriate, professional manner.
- Will not use abusive language, profanity, illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products during any Federation event, including team practice sessions.
- Will strictly adhere to the rules, policies, and procedures of the Youth Football Federation.
- Will dress appropriately. You are a representative of your team and the Youth Football Federation. Clothing shall not contain obscene or derogatory sayings or slogans.
- Will not criticize players/cheerleading participants in front of spectators, but reserve constructive criticism for later, in private, or in the presence of team/squad members if others might benefit. When you must discipline your players/cheerleaders, be consistent and fair.
- Will not deliberately incite unsportsmanlike conduct amongst other staff members, parents, or spectators.
- Will not criticize an opposing team, its players, cheerleading participants, coaches, officials, fans or Team/League officials by word of mouth or by gesture.
- Will accept decisions of the game officials, judges, and Youth Football Federation officials on the field, in competitions and at meetings as being fair and determined to the best ability of said officials.
- Will accept the results of each game and encourage your team to be gracious in victory, and convey that losing can be a triumph if the team has given its best. Teach good sportsmanship!!!
- Discuss what you want to accomplish with your team. Include skills development, tactical growth, fitness, socialization and specific goals. Coaches will make every attempt at a minimum to teach fundamental blocking, tackling, and basic offensive and defensive formations and plays.
- Strive to make every football and cheerleading activity serve as a training ground for life, and a basis for good mental and physical health.
- Emphasize that good athletes strive to be good students and community citizens.
- Emphasize that winning is the result of good “teamwork.”
- Ensure participant safety at all times. Assess playing and practice conditions (weather, field conditions, equipment, etc.). Encourage your participants’ parents to get involved.
- Will not engage in violent conduct, or verbal abuse towards any player, parent, or referee/official/judge.
- Together with game officials, be jointly responsible for the conduct and control of the team, fans, and spectators. As a team coach, you’re responsible for your team, and fan reaction will usually be in step with your reaction. Coaches must apply a reasonable effort to control their fan base.
- Not permit an ineligible player or cheerleading participant to participate in any game or other sanctioned activity.
- Remove from a game or practice any participant when even slightly in doubt about his/her health, whether or not as a result of injury, until competent medical advice is available.
I hereby agree I will provide the team my support in its participation in the Youth Football Federation programs by following the organization’s Code of Conduct, and by abiding by all organization rules and decisions. Furthermore, I hereby consent to the Youth Football Federation to perform any background check desired.
