I also pledge NOT to:
Ever use profanity at a youth event.
Possess or consume alcohol at any CONNY game, including the fields, spectator areas, and parking areas.
Criticize the coaches, players, or officials.
Touch an opposing player, coach, or game official in a threatening manner.
This contract must be signed by any player, parent, or coach who wishes to participate in any CONNY event. A player’s form must be signed by his/her parent(s) or guardian. The signature indicates that the person has read and agreed to this Code of Conduct and knows that the consequences of violating one of these rules include ejection from the event. The CONNY Board of Directors will be notified of the ejection. The Board may decide that the ejectee must appear before the Board to describe the circumstances of the ejection.
