All coaches regardless of sport shall be responsible to the Fox-Rok Executive Board for their own actions and the behavior of their players.

All coaches shall be responsible for spectator conduct, which include the player's family members.

Coaches, players and parents are to refrain from unsportsmanship conduct including, but not limited to the following:

• Abusive language.
• Vulgar language.
• Unsportsmanship conduct toward any umpire(s) or referee(s).
• No parent or player shall confront a referee or umpire about any calls made during a game.  If a coach is unhappy about the call, he/she will inquire about the call and the reason for it with the official.  We have and will suspend or forbid unruly parents from attending Fox-Rok sponsored events.
• Any player or coach involved in any form of intentional physical contact (when provoking a fight as in pushing, shoving or hitting) will be automatically suspended for three (3) games to be served consecutively. The Executive Board will consider longer suspensions depending on the seriousness of the confrontation.  We will not tolerate any fights. 
• Being under the influence of alcohol and/or non-prescribed drugs during a game or practice.
• Taunting opposing players.
• Use of any equipment as a weapon.
• Anyone caught vandalizing Fox-Rok property or equipment will be permanently removed from membership with the Fox-Rok Athletic Association and the incident will be reported to the Philadelphia Police Department.

Any of the above infractions could result in a ban from the Fox-Rok Athletic Association for failure to abide by these rules of conduct.

In addition, as coach, I agree to submit background checks to the Fox-Rok Athletic Associate prior to coaching that is in conformance with the Pennsylvania State laws and will take responsible for the return of all equipment issued at the end of the season for the applicable sport.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I fully understand and agree to this Code of Conduct and the policies of the Fox-Rok Athletic Association.

Parents!
Parents are vital to the development of young athletes.  Whether sitting in the stands or helping out as a volunteer, parents must set a positive example.  Parents and adults involved in youth sports should be models of good sportsmanship and lead by example on and off the playing field.  If a problem arises or if you disagree with a coach’s decision or an official’s call, please remain calm as it is only a game.  

We will not tolerate parents or any other family member badgering or insulting officials, coaches, volunteers, vendors, sponsors or business partners.  This includes making negative remarks, or remarks that could be construed as condescending or negative, regarding the team’s organization, coaching, directing, officiating, or management over any source of social media; to include but not limited to: Twitter (now known as X), Facebook, newspapers, Instagram, Blogs, etc.  Please exhibit respect and sensitivity to our staff as we are all non-paid volunteers.  100% of your registration fee is spent on the children who participated in our programs.  

Should you have questions about why we do some things, have a problem with a coach or any other situations arise that you deem requires clarification or justification, please feel free to speak to any Board of Director's member in private.  You are invited to attend our general monthly meetings that all board members attend to discuss any issues or concerns.  Our monthly general monthly meetings are held every third Tuesday in the basement meeting room at Curley's Pub, 8929 Krewstown Road at 8:30 PM.  We encourage all parents and newcomers to attend these meetings.
