While participating in an NFL FLAG Tournament, Season, or Event, all PARTICIPANTS agree to abide by the Code of Conduct as a coach, player, parent or spectator as defined below.

THIS CODE OF CONDUCT APPLIES TO ALL COACHES, ATHLETES, PARENTS AND SPECTATORS.

Follow all rules as indicated in NFL FLAG Tournament / Season Rule book, as appropriate

• Coaches are responsible for the behavior of athletes and parents – if parents/spectators are behaving poorly, the team itself risks being penalized or disqualified with no right to appeal.
• Crowd support is encouraged. However, inappropriate, rude or confrontational behavior by spectators may lead to disqualification of your team from the tournament, season and/or future events.
• Respect the calls of the referees. No coach’s challenges are permitted.
• Once any dispute or challenge has been settled and play resumes, the situation will not be revisited. If a dispute occurs on the last play of the game, this includes the official score, this must be settled prior to leaving the field.
•  Refrain from harassing, bullying or engaging in negative behavior towards other athletes, coaches, spectators and/or staff.
•  Honor the game by displaying sportsmanship and respecting the rules and officials, staff, teammates, and opponents.
• Resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence. Fighting will NOT be tolerated. 
• Refrain from the use of profanity.
• No possession of alcohol, drugs or weapons of any kind.
• If there are any concerns or issues that arise, please communicate respectfully and calmly with the tournament or field director of the event.
• Inform staff of any injury or ailment that may affect the safety of the athlete, and refrain from allowing an injured/ill athlete to participate in the event.
•  Use social media responsibly and reflect good sportsmanship. Never use it for negative commentary regarding staff, players and/or coaches or to harass/bully others.
• The Event / League Staff and Officials reserve the right to interrupt any game which is not operating within the realm of good sportsmanship and fair play
