Code of Conduct |
Des
Plaines Junior Warriors Football will not tolerate verbal abuse of its
volunteer coaches from any Fan,
Parent or Spectator.
This is YOUTH football, not the pros. Fans, as well as the players and coaches, are expected to abide by a
code of conduct at all Des Plaines Football/Cheerleading Events. While 99% of the adults in the program will
abide by this code without being told, this code is being published to protect the children and volunteers (which
includes all coaches and board members) from the 1%

Fans will abide by a Code
of Conduct which includes the provisions which follow. If any of these rules
are
broken, Des Plaines Junior Warrior Football shall have the authority to impose a penalty. Fans shall:
1. Not criticize the players/cheerleaders or coaches in front of the other spectators in the stands, but reserve
constructive criticism for later, in private.
2. Accept decisions of the game officials (including referees and coaches) on the field as being fair and called
to the best ability of said officials.
3. Not criticize an opposing team, its players, coaches, or fans by work of mouth or by gesture.
4. Refrain from using physical or verbal abuse or profane language at any time at the game, practice field, or
other AYF functions.
5. Abstain from being under the influence of or in possession of and/or drinking alcoholic beverages and the
possession or use of any illegal substance on both the game and practice fields.
Alcohol is not allowed on Park District property and Des Plaines Junior Warrior Football supports this rule and
will enforce it to the maximum. No Alcoholic beverages will be allowed around our youth Football Program. The
penalty is removal from Des Plaines Property. We are also aware of the Plastic Cups. I hope they contain
Water or Pop. Our volunteers will not put themselves in a position to confront anyone but if it is determined
without a doubt you are in violation then the Des Plaines Police will be called to help us enforce the rule. They
have been very co-operative to do it in the past and they also agree with us it is in the best interest of the kids.
Let us thank you in advance for helping us with this rule.
6. Not be allowed on the sidelines during a game.
7. Not interfere/interrupt the coaching staff before, during or after games or at practice.
8. Not express complaints about coaches in stands or to coaches in front of or around the children (i.e. right
after a game or practice).
Violation
Any parent or fan who violates the code of conduct risks the further participation of the child in the program.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Any fan who violates the code of conduct or becomes a nuisance will be asked to leave by the head coach
and can be suspended from all team activities.
2. If the fan fails to leave upon request, the child may be suspended from further participation in team
activities by the head coach.
3. The head coach along with the executive board will decide if the duration of the suspension is to be longer
than one to four weeks or if the child will be dropped from the program. That decision will depend on the
attitude of the parents.
4. Any parent or fan who violates the code of conduct risks the future participation of his/her children in the
program. Depending on the severity of the incident the board of directors may decide to ban future
participation in the program for up to three years.
Conduct of all Players and Parents
All players are guaranteed plays in each, Regular Season or Playoff game. Everything beyond that must be
earned in the opinion of the coaching staff whose decisions are final.
