PARENT/GUARDIAN CODE OF CONDUCTThe support of the parent(s) is

essential to the success of any youth program. Your role at any SYF&C game

or event is to support and cheer your child and team in a positive manner. A

positive attitude, free from parental pressures, is an important factor for the

success of any athlete participating in this program. · Refrain from open

criticism, especially in the presence of children of the program, coaches, or

any personnel connected with the organization. Any questions and/or

concerns should be addressed in a respectful manner with coaching staff and

SYF&C officials. · Parents should never be on the sidelines, playing field or

locker rooms during practice and games, nor interrupt a coach during

practice. All spectators belong on the stands or designated seating areas.

Only athletes, coaches, team parents and appointed association officials may

be on the sidelines or field. · Remember to keep your fan support in the

proper perspective and in good taste. This is a YOUTH program, not a

professional one. · Unsportsmanlike conduct in the stands during SYF&C

events is prohibited. Derogatory statements towards game officials, fans or

the opposing team will not be tolerated and may result in your removal from

the event and/or all future events as determined by the SYF&C Directors. ·

ALCOHOL and ILLICIT SUBSTANCES at any SYF&C event are PROHIBITED.

Also, smoking and all pets are prohibited within the fence of the stadium.

This is school property so these MUST be enforced. · You are responsible for

the behavior of anyone that you bring to practices, games, events and

activities. Those spectators will be held to the same Code of Conduct as

SYF&C parents and participants. · You may be ejected from any Stow Youth

Football & Cheerleading event for any of the above violations.

Volunteer Commitment

Stow Youth Football and Cheer is a volunteer-run organization that relies entirely on the support of our community, families, and dedicated program volunteers to operate successfully.

To help ensure a smooth and successful season, each family is required to complete four (4) volunteer credits during the season. Volunteer opportunities—including game day support, field cleanup, concession stand shifts, and other seasonal needs—will be posted on our website for sign-up.

At equipment pickup, each family must provide a post-dated check in the amount of $250.00 dated November 1, 2026. This check will only be deposited if the required four volunteer credits are not completed by the end of the season.

We truly depend on the involvement and support of our families and community to make this season a success, and we appreciate your commitment to our program.
