What are the Codes of Conduct?

The Codes of Conduct are a list of 10 objectives that must be met to have a successful program. Each group (Coach, Parent, Football player) have their own concerns and interests as well as share concerns and interests. This is a way to be upfront, honest and insure there is no hidden agenda.

We hold everyone to these Codes. By participating in this program, you agree to abide by the Codes of Conduct and understand that not doing so will result in the immediate loss of further participation in ALL NYSA Football sponsored programs for a period.

You (Coach, Parents & Football player) will be asked to follow the Code of Conduct as your commitment to a successful program.
