Players

• Treat teammates, opponents, officials, and staff with respect. Compete fairly and follow the rules and safety instructions.

• Do not haze, threaten, harass, discriminate, fight, or retaliate against someone who asks for help.
• Care for the facilities and equipment and stay within the agreed supervision and pickup arrangements.

Parents, guardians, and spectators

• Encourage effort and sportsmanship. Keep sideline comments respectful; do not confront children or officials.
• Follow venue rules and keep playing areas and emergency exits clear.
• Raise disputes with the program leader calmly, away from athletes and active play.
• Respect other families’ privacy. Do not post identifying information about another child without appropriate permission.

Coaches, staff, and volunteers

• Put athlete welfare ahead of results and respect physical and personal boundaries.
• Keep communications involving minors transparent and include their parent or guardian.
• Follow applicable reporting duties, program supervision procedures, and medical-clearance requirements.
• Do not request secret contact, inappropriate photos, or unapproved private meetings or transportation.

Raise a concern

Use the safety and reporting contacts for misconduct or child-protection concerns. Call 911 for immediate danger. A program complaint does not replace reporting to the relevant authorities.
