As a player for IYA, I agree to:
Respect my coaches & managers: The coaches and managers are volunteers who donate their time to our organization and my appreciation of their help should be reflected in all my actions on the playing field. It is my duty to listen to and follow the directions of my manager and coaches and to obey the rules set forth by the manager and coaches of the teams.
Respect my team members and other players: I will not insult, criticize or verbally abuse any other player. Such behavior does not promote but destroys team spirit.
Never resort to physical threats or actions to rectify a situation: Physical outbursts are unacceptable and will be dealt with using a zero-tolerance policy. I will avoid all acts likely to incite violence or disorder. Any occurrence will result in my immediate suspension. Violent behavior towards any player, coach, official or spectator is at all times unacceptable and will lead to immediate suspension.
Display good sportsmanship at all times: As a representative of the IYA, it is my duty to reflect the characteristics of fair play at all times. I will display to others that competition is healthy and I will not lower those standards by engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct. Abusive language is unacceptable, and I’m aware that using vulgar or abusive language will result in my immediate suspension.
Be a contributor to the IYA: I play organized sports not only for my own personal pleasure and benefit but for the benefit and as a representative of IYA. I will always give 100% to my team by doing the best job that I can. Be proud to be a player for the IYA and have FUN doing it!
IYA has a Zero Tolerance Policy that over rides code of conduct rules if applicable.
