AYF Pledge, Code, and Standard of Conduct

The following is a policy that we would hope and encourage all members leagues to adopt and enforce locally.

The Five Core Values of AYF

American Youth Football believes every coach, player, administrator, and volunteer should uphold these principles:

  1. Leadership — Inspiring and serving others through positive example.

  2. Integrity — Being honest, trustworthy, and accountable.

  3. Respect — Treating everyone with dignity and fairness.

  4. Responsibility — Owning our actions and commitments.

  5. Sportsmanship — Competing fairly and honoring the spirit of the game.

Commitment

AYF believes that character is developed through consistent choices and actions. Coaches, administrators, volunteers, players, parents, and supporters all share responsibility for creating a positive environment that promotes learning, growth, discipline, teamwork, and respect.

By participating in AYF, we commit ourselves to upholding these values and standards, ensuring that character, integrity, and sportsmanship remain as important as competition and achievement.
