PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

Player's responsibilities are simple; be respectful of others, be responsible, play fair, and always do your best, and always exhibit good sportsmanship.

As a PNLL participant I hereby pledge that I will:  

·   Encourage good sportsmanship from fellow players, coaches, officials, and parents.

·   Be a team player and support my teammates.

·   Be on time and attend every practice and game that I can, and will notify my coaches if I cannot.

·   Work hard to improve my skills.

·   Do my best to listen and learn from my coaches.

·   Encourage my parents to be involved with my team in some capacity.

·   Congratulate the other team after each game as a demonstration of sportsmanship.

·   Refrain from using violence, unfriendly language, or insults to others.

·   Be generous when I win and gracious when I lose.

·   Obey the rules of the game and always work for the good of the team.

·   Accept the decisions of the officials with grace and never challenge or question calls. 

·   Refrain from challenging or questioning on-field calls by officials and/or managers and coaches.                    

·   Conduct myself with honor and dignity.

·   Applaud the efforts of my teammates and opponents.

I also agree that if I fail to abide by the aforementioned rules and guidelines, I will be subject to disciplinary action levied by the PNLL Board of Directors or Code of Conduct Committee that could include but is not limited to the following:  

·   Verbal warning

·   Written warning

·   Player suspension for games

·   Player suspension for season including postseason (All Stars & TOC)

The PNLL Board of Directors retains the sole authority to determine what, if any, disciplinary action is appropriate for any conduct infraction.
