Player Code of Conduct

I promise to do the following as a member of the Planet Lacrosse USA:

1. I promise to have a positive attitude and be responsible for my actions and participation in the Planet Lacrosse USA League/Clinic.
2. I understand that as a PL lacrosse player, I am expected to "be the best" in terms of effort and my actions both on and off the field. This includes how hard I work in school and at home, not just on the lacrosse field.
3. I will respect my coaches and will listen to them at all times.
4. I will respect all aspects of the game, including coaches, referees, teammates, opponents and fans.

6. I will support the drug, alcohol and tobacco-free environment that is important for all youth sporting events.
7. I will be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
8. I will take responsibility for my own behavior, equipment and game uniforms.
9. I will do my best in school.
10. I will attend all practices and games. If I have a conflict I will notify my coach as soon as possible.

12. I understand that ABSOLUTELY no language or attitude unbecoming a lacrosse player will be tolerated at practice or a game.
13. I will Honor the Game of lacrosse, and honor the Player Code of Conduct in my words and actions. I understand that if I don t live up to my promises, I can be suspended from practices, games, and even asked to leave the team and/or league.
