Parent Code of Conduct - Bay Area Youth Football Association

It's seems that every year we hear about an incident at a youth sporting event where a parent looses their cool and acts inappropriately. Let's make sure that our kids do not have to witness anything like that.

Please review the Parent Code of Conduct below or click here to download...

I will enjoy my child's opportunity to experience the benefits of football and cheer.

I will trust in my child's ability to have fun as well as to perform and achieve excellence on his/her own.

I will help my child to learn the right lessons from winning and losing and from individual accomplishments and mistakes.

I will respect my child's teammates and fellow parents as well as the players, parents and coaches from opposing teams.

I will give only encouragement and applaud only positive accomplishments whether for my child, his/her teammates, their opponents or the officials.

I will respect my child's coach (Football and Cheer) and support his/her efforts.

I will not instruct from the sidelines unless asked to by the coach.

I will insure that my child will attend all games and practices possible and, when not possible, I agree to inform the Head Coach/Cheer Director in advance.

I will respect all facilities made available so my child can play and practice his/her sport.

I will respect any equipment or uniform that may be loaned to my child so that he/she can participate.

I will respect the officials and their authority during games.

I will never demonstrate threatening or abusive behavior or use foul language.

I will be responsible to report to BAYFA any perceived misconduct by a coach, player, parent, or official so it can be dealt with in the appropriate manner.
