Parents Code of Conduct

The mission of Florida-Georgia Youth Flag Football is to develop confidence, self esteem, and sportsmanship through the performance of recreational team sports, while promoting physical and moral character development to all participants. To ensure the appropriate atmosphere for these activities, the organization has adopted a zero tolerance policy in the enforcement of the Florida-Georgia Youth Flag Football Parent’s Code of Conduct.

* I (and my guests) will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game, practice or other F.Y.F.F.A-G.Y.F.F.A event.

* I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing and taunting; refusing to shake hands; or using profane language or gestures.

*I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child ahead of my personal desire to win.

* I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for making a mistake of losing a competition.

*I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.
