CODE OF CONDUCT

Parents and/or guardians will be required to read and sign this Parent Contract containing minimum standard Southwest Idaho Lacrosse Association (SWILA) Code of Conduct language. Failure of parents and/or guardians to sign Parent Contract will disqualify the player from play until this agreement is in place.

  • I (we) will remain in the spectator area during competitions, which is on the opposite side of the field from the team benches.
  • I (we) will “Honor the Game.”
  • I (we) will show respect for all involved with the game, including coaches, players, opponents, opposing fans, table crew, and officials. 
  • I (we) will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of a personal desire to win.
  • I (we) will not drink alcohol at contests or come to one having had too much to drink. (Also see Idaho Title 23, Chapter 6, 23-61) 
  • I (we) will help when asked to by a coach or official or board member.
  • I (we) will not confront officials during or after the game, either on the field or in the immediate vicinity (such as the parking lot). I (we) understand that any spectator violating this rule may be requested to immediately exit from the venue for the remainder of the game.
  • I (we) will support coaches and officials working with my child in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience.
  • I (we) understand that games can be exciting for my child as he deals with the fast-paced action of the game, responds to opponents, referees, teammates, and listens to coaches. I (we) will not yell out instructions. During the game, I (we) will make only sportsmanlike comments that encourage my child and other players on both teams. I (we) understand that any spectator violating this rule may be requested to immediately exit from the venue for the remainder of the game.
  • I (we) agree to relay Code of Conduct information to friends and family that attend games and understand that they must also abide by it.
  • I (we) understand that spectators and players are expected to abide by posted rules for the game venue or host team, and I (we) will familiarize ourselves with and abide by venue rules as posted at the venue or on the SWILA website. I (we) also understand that any spectator found violating these rules during or between games at the venue of play may be requested to immediately exit from the venue for the remainder of the game by an official representative of the host team. Failure to do so may result in further sanctions as determined by the SWILA Infractions Committee.
  • I (we) understand the SWILA infractions committee will review any repeat violations by an individual of any portion of the Parent Code of Conduct, and that this review may result in additional sanctions against the parent or guardian, or Member program. Sanctions may include suspension of the parent, guardian, or spectator from any or all SWILA activities as determined by the Infractions Committee.

In recognition of this parent/player contract being signed and player being accepted to participate in an SWILA lacrosse club, I (we) agree to comply with the terms of this Parent Contract. If you have any officiating, coaching, or other concerns, please contact your club representative.
