league shall have the authority to impose a penalty. Coaches shall:
S1:
Not smoke and/or use smokeless tobacco on the field.
S2: Not
criticize players/spirit participants in front of spectators, but reserve
constructive criticism for later, in private, or in the presence of
team/squad members if others might benefit.
S3: Accept decisions of the game
officials and judges on the field and in competitions as being fair and
called to the best ability of said officials.
S4: Not criticize an opposing team,
its players, spirit participants, coaches, or fans by word of mouth or by
gesture.
S5: Emphasize that good athletes
strive to be good students and that both are physically and mentally alert.
S6: Strive to make every football and
spirit activity serve as a training ground for life, and basis for good

control of team fans and spectators. Any fan who becomes a nuisance and

S10: Not
use abusive or profane language at any time.

their team to get a commanding lead and raise the score as high as it can.
In these instances, every effort shall be made to let all players play.

receive any payment, in cash or kind, for services as a coach in Pop Warner

substance on both the game and practice fields.
S18: Remove from a game or practice
any participant when even slightly in doubt about his/her health, whether
or not as a result of injury, until competent medical advice is available.
S19: Control their fans. Remember, as
a team coach, you're responsible for your team, and fan reaction will
usually be in step with your reaction.
S20:
Uphold all rules and regulations, National and local, regarding Pop Warner
Football, Cheerleading and Dance.
