Player & Parent Rules, Regulations, and Code of Conduct Agreement
With the privilege of participating, come certain obligations and responsibilities. Each player must meet the behavioral standards outlined in this code of conduct maintaining the integrity of this program, which is based on teamwork, discipline, respect, commitment, and good sportsmanship. Participation in the Program is a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked by a Board Member when a player and/or parent/guardian violate these rules.
Please read with parent/guardian:
As a player, I will:
· Respect my teammates, coaches, staff members, game officials, and opponents; shake hands before and after all contests.
· Help clear equipment, water bottles, and any other trash and/or personal belongings off the field/sidelines after every event.
· Follow team rules established by the coach and the Jaguars Youth Football Club
· Be responsible for bringing my assigned equipment and making sure I take the equipment home after EVERY game and practice.
· Accept responsibility for and agree to maintain and return all equipment issued to me from the Jaguars Youth Football Club in the condition it was given, except for normal wear and tear
· Make sure that I am staying out of trouble and passing my classes if I am in trouble at school, I will be in trouble at practice. If I do not pass my class, I will not be able to play games.
PARENT’S/GUARDIAN’S AGREEMENT
As a parent registering your child for participation in the Jaguars Youth Program, we ask that you review the following Code of Ethics and help us enforce this sportsmanship policy with fans and spectators at games. We need to all remember THESE ARE KIDS; THIS IS YOUTH FOOTBALL & CHEER, THE COACHES AND STAFF ARE VOLUNTEERS, THE REFEREE ARE HUMAN, AND THIS IS NOT THE NFL!
Please read and initial:
· I will not interfere with the coaches and staff during practice and/or games as I understand this could result in being dismissed from games and/or practices.
· I will provide support for coaches, staff, and officials working with my child to provide a positive and enjoyable experience for every game, practice, and club activities.

· I will understand that my player’s playing time during games will be based on dedication, ability, and performance.

I understand that by not participating in said fundraiser(s), I may incur an opt-out fee per athlete which must be paid for my athlete(s) to continue to participate in events/games for the season.
· I will participate in the snack rotation as I understand that my athlete(s) receives snacks after every game which is the parent’s responsibility to take turns supplying to the team mom.

I understand that failure to pay on time and/or in full will result in my athlete(s) being removed from the Jaguar organization and no refunds of the paid amount will be provided.
