Code of Conduct
In our effort to promote good sportsmanship among players, coaches, and parents, The League of Champions has incorporated and will enforce a code of conduct that we hope will ensure the physical and emotional well being of all its participants. Our goal is to ensure that all of our participants will thrive in an environment full of respect, team play, and friendship. The League of Champions recognizes the physical and aggressive nature of the sport and, as such, we recognize the need for control. As parents and coaches, it is our responsibility to lead by example. Therefore, all parents and coaches are responsible to read and sign this Code of Conduct and to adhere by it. All participants who are deemed to be in violation of the Code of Conduct are subject to ejection from the games. Parents who are found to be in violation may be barred from attending future games and/or forfeit their child’s right to participate in the remaining games.
Such offenses that may warrant ejection or removal are as follows:
1) Abuse of a game official, coach, league officer, player, or spectator, whether it is verbal or physical, including but not limited to swearing, violence, obscene gestures, and other aggressive/inappropriate behavior reported a League of Champions staff member.
2) Gross misconduct, including but not limited to fighting with an opposing player on or about the playing fields of The League of Champions Bowl Series games.
3) Intentional acts that could result in bodily injury or emotional harm to any person on or about the playing fields.
Coaches will be responsible for routine discipline of minor infractions as they incur within their own teams. Any infraction that cannot be controlled at the team level or that the coach believes warrants, will be referred to the President for further action.
Coaches are to place the emotional and physical well being of his players ahead of his desire to win. Coaches will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to his players. Swearing and excess physical contact will not be tolerated and complaints of such shall be referred to the President for further action.
Parents and other spectators are expected to express their enthusiasm positively during games. Any negative expressions (booing, jeering, etc.) will be considered in violation of this code. Furthermore, parents/spectators are not to approach coaches during or immediately after a game with questions or complaints relative to playing time, positions, game strategy, etc. These matters should be taken up in a private conversation at a later (and less emotional) time.
The League of Champions hopes to enhance the development of its participants. Our goals are to benefit the children who choose to participate. The above guidelines are set as a reminder that as parents and coaches we are to act as positive examples for our children to follow. With your help, these disciplinary measures may never need to be imposed.
