CODE OF ETHICS - NO TOLERANCE Within the last few years recreation across the country has seen a dramatic change in issues dealing with parents, coaches, fans, umpires, and league officials conduct at sporting events. Although not as severe as some instances nationwide, Lexington County has had its share of conduct problems. With this in mind, our Lexington County Recreation and Aging Commission Board of Commissioners have taken a "No Tolerance" stance in order to help prevent severe situations from occurring on and within leagues operating on (LCRAC) facilities. This includes unsportsmanlike behavior, verbal abuse, threatening physical abuse. and actual physical abuse. The '"No Tolerance" Policy regarding adult behavior is as follows: No fan/spectator/adult/parent/coach/board member shall verbally confront or argue with an official, coach, player or other fans before, during, or after a game. Penalties for such unsportsmanlike conduct: 1.
General unsportsmanlike conduct: I calendar week suspension
2.
Profanity: I calendar week suspension
3.
Any adult suspended due to III or #2 will be suspended from all facilities and activities which include practices and games. Any adult that commits a sccond similar offense of I or 2 will be banned from LCRAC Youth Football for the remainder of that season and their child(ren) removed from the league(s) for the remainder of the season. Association will refund registration monies pro-rated based on the percentage of the season remaining.
4.

5.
Fighting = suspension for season

Any adult who physically assaults an official, coach, or volunteer will be banned from LCRAC Facilities and their child(ren) removed from LCRAC sponsored facilities, activities, events and programs for one year from the date of the offense. The child(ren) may not participate in another LCRAC Youth football association during that sanction period. After I year, the parent may apply for reinstatement of his/her child. Second offenses may result in the adult and child(ren) permanently banned from LCRAC facilities, activities, events and programs. Note: The term physical assault includes, but is not limited to: hitting, slapping, pushing, spitting, kicking, or striking in any way any part of the body or any physical implement. Note: Remember! Any person who physically attacks an official, coach, other fan or player may be subject to criminal prosecution as well as civil suit for money damages. It is the goal of LCRAC and advisors that participation in recreational sports programs be individually and cooperatively a wholesome. fun and personally rewarding experience. Each participant, along with the coaches, should try to achieve a more positive altitude for the sport and its objectives than he/she had at the start of the season. All players, coaches, fans, and parents shall be guided by the NYSCA Code of Conduct, which is mandated (lor coaches) by the LCRAC board. This policy has been prepared and approved by the LCRAC Board of Commissioners.
