EPFA is committed to promoting an environment that fosters a superior level of sportsmanship in the participation of athletic events. For a detailed review of the coaches code of conduct, please refer to our EPFA Policy document.

Program Philosophy

• Provide ALL participants with a positive experience
• Inspire each player to continue playing and to develop their skills
• Teach life lessons through positive interaction
• Winning is an outcome, it is NOT an objective

• Prerequisite for Coaching. You cannot participate as a coach until the follow three steps are complete.

Prerequisites for Coaching

A coach cannot start the season until these steps are complete.

• Opt-in to EPFA league emails using an email address that is checked often
• Complete annual background checks
• Submit qualifying concussion training certificate

EPFA is committed to providing all participants in the program an enjoyable football experience. To achieve that the EPFA must take steps to ensure that coaches conduct themselves appropriately. Expectations are as follows: 

• EPFA coaches are expected to read and understand all EPFA policies.
• As a representative of EPFA, every coach must exhibit examples of good sportsmanship at all times.
• Unsportsmanlike, abusive, or violent conduct will NOT be tolerated at any EPFA event or activity. This includes but is not limited to the following:
  • Profanity
  • Verbal abuse, shaming or intimidation of players
  • Verbal abuse of referees, other coaches or parents
  • Physical endangerment, contact or confrontation with a player, parent, official, or spectator
  • Repeated disregard for EPFA policies or philosophies
• It is a privilege to be a coach in the EPFA. Coaches who do not conduct themselves appropriately will be subject to discipline by the EPFA. Discipline may include permanently barring the coach from coaching within the program when it is in the judgment of the EPFA that such action is required. In most cases, disciplinary action will be progressive and can include:
  • A verbal warning
  • A written warning
  • Suspension from one or more EPFA activities
