ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

WYFC ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

This policy is to inform the participants and parents of the Walpole Youth Football & Cheer program of our “Zero Tolerance Policy”.  In recent years, we have all heard of unfortunate incidents occurring at youth sporting events and practices. Full discretion has been given to all board members to enforce this policy.  The following will not be tolerated:

• Possession/consumption of alcoholic beverages, possession/use of illegal substances on the premises at any Association, League or Conference function, including home or away games, and practices or events where the children are present.
• Protesting a game official, judge or Commissioners decision in an aggressive demonstrative manner, or any behavior which might incite negative, violent or aggressive fan involvement.
• Use of abusive or profane language or actions at anytime at any Association, League, or Conference function.
• Treatment of the program, board members, coaches, all children and adults while at any Association/League/Conference function with disrespect.
• Any physical violence, or verbal abuse or harassment towards any parent, coach, official, board member or player.

Failure to adhere to this policy may result in an incident report being filed with the Walpole Youth Football & Cheer Board of Directors.  Depending on the gravity of the incident, dismissal may be immediate for a participant or parent with the possibility of notification given to the local police departments and/or local recreation departments.
We thank you for your cooperation with this policy, and look forward to a positive, rewarding season of Youth Football and Cheerleading.

Sincerely,

Robert Conrad, President
Walpole Youth Football & Cheer
