Players Code of Conduct

 

 

 

 

It is a privilege to play on a Springfield Junior Football League team. As a SJFL player, I will:

 

 

 

1. Play the game for the game’s sake, and not just to please my parents or coach.

    

2. Be modest and generous when I win, and gracious when I lose.

    

3. Respect the game of football and its rules, learn these rules and try to follow them, and play the game fairly.

    

4. Work for the good of my team and give my best effort at all times.

    

5. Show respect for the authority of the referee, even though I will sometimes disagree with his calls.

    

6. Show good sportsmanship before, during, and after games. I understand that football is a game, and that the players on the other team are my opponents, not my enemies.

    

7. Conduct myself with honor and dignity and treat other players as I would like to be treated.

    

8. Control my temper and not retaliate, even if I believe I have been wronged.

    

9. Not use or possess tobacco, alcohol, or illegal or performance-enhancing drugs.
