Team Roster/Sportsmanship Policy & Waiver


ALL PLAYERS MUST READ THE FRONT & SIGN THE BACK

            We realize that football is a physical, competitive sport and sometimes player’s emotions get the better of them.  However, unsportsmanlike acts will not be tolerated.  Players or Teams will be penalized from yardage to fines and up to disqualification from the league for certain unsportsmanlike acts.  Usually, unsportsmanlike acts are done by individuals rather than whole teams.  It is the responsibility of each team to make sure all individuals are aware of the rules, policies and consequences and that the individuals pay fines.  If a player commits unsportsmanlike acts it is the responsibility of all other players on the team to prevent the situation from escalating by refraining the individual(s), calming them down, and getting the situation quickly under control.

            Players who are disqualified must leave the field immediately to prevent the team from being disqualified.  Depending upon the severity at the discretion of the referees, Unsportsmanlike acts by individuals may result in the disqualification of the entire team, especially when more than one player is involved.  Players or teams may or may not receive warning prior to being penalized, fined, or disqualified, depending upon the severity and the discretion of the referees.  If necessary, the referees will not hesitate to get the police involved.

            Players or spectators who are on the sidelines and not in the game at the time may not at anytime run on to the field as the result of a scuffle or any other type of unsportsmanlike act.  Players on the field at the time are responsible for resolving the situation quickly, calmly, and without incident.

            Things that constitute unsportsmanlike acts include: fighting, punching, cheap shots, taunting, trash-talking, belittling, racial or ethnic slurs, pushing or shoving after a play, throwing the ball at an opponent, arguing, derogatory comments, name-calling, etc.

Also, the league will strictly enforce penalties and/or disqualification for belittling, degrading, demoralizing, etc., referees, as well as players, after or during a game.  If a player or team is disqualified from the league they will not be eligible to receive any type of refund.  If the incident is serious enough to warrant such action, the police may also get involved and the tournament officials will press charges for any type of assault on referees or league officials.  All penalties and disqualifications will be administered at the discretion of referees and league officials.  If a team/player is fined, the fine must be paid before the team’s next game to avoid forfeiture.

Examples of how the fine system works: 2nd Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty in the same game:  $15; 3rd Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty in the same game: $25, Belittling, degrading, demoralizing referees during or after a game: $25, Fighting: $50, Bench Clearing Brawl: $100, Touching a referee: $200.  Please note that the amount of fines will be up to the discretion of refs and league officials and could vary according to severity.

Acceptance of Waiver and Release:

            I know that participating in the strenuous activity of football is potentially hazardous.  I assume all risks associated with playing in this activity including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other players, weather, and conditions of the playing surface, all such facts being known and appreciated by me.  I am aware that if I do not already have medical insurance coverage for this event that I and/or my team has the option to purchase medical insurance and that the league administrators are not responsible for providing medical insurance coverage for players or teams.  Knowing these facts, I hereby for, my heirs, executors, administrators or anyone else who might bring claims on my behalf, covenant not to sue, and waive, release, and discharge the Utah Football Association, West Jordan Middle School, Sandy City, sponsors, league employees, assigns or anyone acting on their behalf, from any and all claims of liability for death, personal injury, or property damage of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in the course of my participation in this activity.  This release and waiver extends to all claims of every kind or nature of me or my likeness from this event for any purpose.  Applications of minors will be accepted only with a parent’s or guardian’s permission and signature.  I also realize that I am responsible for my own and my teammate’s conduct.  I vow to present myself and represent my team in a sportsmanlike and respectable manner.  I understand that failure to do so may result in myself and/or my team being disqualified from the tournament without a refund of any kind.  I have read the sportsmanship policy within this document and I understand the content therein and agree to adhere to the policy.

Roster Limits:

There is now a roster limit for each team.  The purpose of this is because the school district is now charging us for using the field based upon an amount per player and that amount was figured based upon a maximum number of players per team that will be using the field and we will have to pay additional charges for each player beyond the limit in each format.

5 on 5 Roster Limit: 10 Players                 8 on 8 Roster Limit: 20 Players       Each additional player added to Roster: $25/player
