8. Respect the playing field and the surrounding area.
B. Parents Code of Conduct:
1. Do not force your child to participate in sports, but support their desire to play their chosen sport. Children should be involved for their enjoyment and help them to make it fun.

C. Coaches Code of Conduct:
1. Be a positive role model to your players. Always display emotional maturity and be alert to the physical safety of the players.
2. Care more about your players than winning the game. Emphasize that winning is the result of good ˇ°teamworkˇ± as opposed to individual effort.
3. Be generous with your praise when it is deserved. Be consistent, fair, honest and just in interacting with your players.
4. Do not yell at players or verbally abuse a player, coach, official or other participant.
5. It is never appropriate under any circumstances to initiate physical contact with any player in anger, frustration or for the purpose of enforcing discipline. Behavior of this type will subject you to criminal charges in addition to any league sanctions which may be imposed.

8. Organize practices so that they are fun and challenging to the players.

12. Refrain from ˇ°piling in onˇ± when a game is clearly won.
13. Immediately seek medical attention for any serious injuries and report all injuries to the appropriate league officials. Remove any player from participation when the player is experiencing pain or any other medical condition until competent medical advice is available.

If a certified official requests or directs that a player, coach, parent or spectator leave the playing area, the person is to leave immediately. If a confrontation develops at any time, league officials are encouraged to seek the immediate assistance of the Stafford Township Police Department. Any and all participants in any type of physical confrontation or altercation shall forfeit their privilege of participating in or attending any Stafford Township athletic event for one year in addition to any other penalties imposed by the league or any other agency.
