Fairbanks Youth Football and Cheerleading (FYFC) participants are subject to the following Zero Tolerance Policy. All
players, cheerleaders, coaches and parents are required read, understand and adhere to the conditions and policies
set forth by the organization. FYFC expects all participants will refrain from inappropriate behavior as detailed in this
policy at all times regardless of whether on or off the playing or practice field and whether or not an official is in view.
Zero Tolerance Policy: In an effort to make football and cheerleading a more desirable and rewarding experience for
all participants, the FYFC program adheres to certain points of emphasis relating to sportsmanship. This campaign is
designed to require all players, participants, coaches, officials, team officials, administrators, parents and other
spectators to maintain a sportsmanlike and educational atmosphere before, during and after all FYFC sporting events.
Thus, all referees, coaches and board members must implement the following points of emphasis.
Players:
1. Openly disputes or argues any decision by an official.
2. Uses obscene or vulgar language, including swearing, even if it is not directed to a particular person.
3. Visually demonstrates any sign of dissatisfaction with an official’s decision.
Any time that a player commits any of these actions, they will be assessed a penalty. If the behavior continues, the
player will be suspended from the game.
Coaches:
1. Openly disputes or argues any decision by an official in a hostile manner.
2. Uses obscene or vulgar language, including swearing, even if it is not directed to a particular person.
3. Visually demonstrates any sign of dissatisfaction with an official’s decision with the intent of inciting the
officials, players or spectators.
Any time that a coach commits any of these actions, they will be assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. If the
behavior continues, the coach will be suspended from the game and will need to pass a disciplinary review board’s
approval before returning to coaching duties.
Parents/Spectators:
1. Use of obscene or vulgar language in a boisterous manner to anyone at any time.
2. Taunting players, coaches, officials, or other spectators by means of baiting, ridiculing, threat of physical

3. Throwing any object in the spectator viewing and game area, players’ bench, end zone or anywhere on or near
the playing field in any manner as to create a safety hazard.
4. Going to the opposing team’s side to taunt coaches, players, officials or cheerleaders will not be tolerated.
5. Use of tobacco products, alcohol or drugs will not be allowed.

the disruption from the spectator viewing and game area. Once the disruption is removed, play will resume. Lost time
will not be replaced and violators may be subject to further disciplinary action by FYFC. Any time a Parent/Spectator
persists in any of these actions they will not be allowed to return to any FYFC activities.
I have read and understand this Zero Tolerance Policy. I understand FYFC will enforce it as necessary. If I violate this or
any other FYFC policy, I agree to abide by any and all decisions made by a FYFC disciplinary review.
