Principles for Parents |
Parents, athletes and
coaches must work together for the best possible
youth football experience and performance. The
following suggestions are meant as general
guidelines for parents. As a parent, you
understand the daily pressures your child faces.
We believe that football should be an outlet for
fun. Encourage your child and allow them to have
a good time.
Remember that your child
learns more from your actions than your words.
Practice good sportsmanship by being respectful
to players, parents and coaches on both teams.
- There is nothing
wrong with applauding a good play made by
the opponents. Parents can be good role
models by appreciating the efforts made by
both teams.
- Most coaches are
volunteers and work hard at what they do. To
lessen confusion, and out of respect for
their position, please allow your child’s
coach to be the only one coaching players on
the field.
- Please refrain
from loud or rude behavior.
- Offer
encouragement and positive reinforcement,
not criticism, to your star player.
- Encourage
discipline by having your child arrive on
time for practices and games.
- Belonging to a
team requires commitment. Parents can help
children understand this through regular
attendance and preparation.
- Whenever possible,
volunteer. This shows participants the value
of being a team player.
- Please respect the
officials and their calls. It’s OK to
disagree, but inappropriate to disparage.

3) NUMBER OF DOWNS
For all games teams will play 4 down football
with the one yard neutral zone. The offence must
throw a legal forward pass on at least one of
the first three downs in each series of downs.
Failure to do so will result in an 'Illegal
Procedure' penalty. Officials will not stop play
until the ball is dead. Attempting to pass and
getting sacked or being forced to run will not
satisfy this rule. The ball must be thrown as a
legal overhand forward pass. A underhand
lateral, shovel, or screen pass will not satisfy
this rule. A five yard penalty will be applied
and the down repeated. The offensive team will
still be obligated to pass the ball again after
the penalty has been applied.
The defensive team has the option to decline the
penalty, let the play stand and bring up fourth

down.
The offence is not required to pass the ball in
any set of downs that starts inside their own 15
yard line.

permitted. Illegal blocks below the waist are a
10 yard penalty. Any player penalized twice for
this infraction in the same game will not be
permitted to play the remainder of the game.

The defense can have as many defensive lineman
as the offense has interior offensive lineman
(i.e. C, G, TE).
Linebackers and defensive backs are not allowed
to blitz.
Defensive ends cannot line up wider than an
'outside shade' on the most outside interior
offensive lineman, (i.e. G, TE). The defensive
ends inside foot cannot be outside of the

There is no restriction on where linebackers or

defensive backs cannot cross the line of
scrimmage until the quarterback no longer has
the ball or has left the pocket.
If this rule is violated the defense will be
penalized 5 yards for 'illegal defense'.
