JCYFCL COACHES CONTRACT

The goal of the James City Youth Football and Cheerleading League (JCYFCL) is to help develop our youth by providing an environment where they will have fun and develop the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, and hard work. We encourage scholastic achievement and family involvement while acting as consistent and caring role models. The following are how James City Jaguar Coaches will act as role models and Jaguar Coaches.

Be organized.
Speak with confidence and purpose.
Try to make games or contests out of our drills to make them fun.
Provide plenty of water breaks. Take no chances with heat exhaustion.
Be consistent, set parameters and don’t let your participants go outside of them.
Encourage overt sportsmanship and teamwork.
Do not touch a participant when we appear angry. Never touch a face mask or a participant in any private area.
Do not use abusive or foul language.
Safety is our first concern; medical kits will be issued to each team.
No arguing with officials, side-line personnel, PYFCO and/or PYFCO representatives, or opposing coaches. Only talk to the officials to clarify the number of the player committing the foul, asking the amount of time left or timeouts and clarifying any “Special” League Rules, never a judgment call ever.
Only authorized personnel allowed on the sidelines and field as defined in the JCYFCL By Laws.
Any parent complaints should be first addressed by the head coach, and if unresolved then brought before the Cheerleading Coordinator.
No overnights.
Immediately retrieve equipment from expelled participants or participants that have quit.
Continually impress upon participants the importance of education and keeping their grades at a satisfactory level.
All coaches must be approved by the BOD in advance, absolutely no exceptions.
Coaches must fill out paperwork as required, attend clinics, and pass the necessary certification tests.
Remember that it is not a right, but it is a privilege, to be a Coach in the JCYFCL.
Have Fun.

I agree to abide by the above and all policies, guidelines, and By Laws of the JCYFCL as a condition of Coaching with the James City Jaguars. I can be terminated at any time, with or without cause and will have no remedy or review. I acknowledge that I will be a role model, that participants will take their cue from me. I agree to act in a way that is honorable.
