Due to the growing number of sever incidents of parental violence and misbehavior in youth sports, Waterford SaberCat Youth Football and Cheer (WYFC) has instituted a ZERO Tolerance Policy regarding violations by members, players, parents and spectators. The following rules and regulations have been adopted:
- I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, cheerleaders, coaches and officials at every game, practice and WYFC or League event.
- I will place the emotional and physical well being of my child and all children in the WYFC Organization ahead of my personal desire to win.
- I will insist that my child play in a safe healthy environment.

- I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and will refrain from their use at WYFC events.
- I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child and remember that the game is for the youth and not for the adults.
- I will ask my child to treat other players, cheerleaders, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability - and I will do the same.
- I will help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing what I can- such as providing transportation to and from practices and events, helping keep equipment clean, being a respectful fan, and volunteering for WYFC events as needed.
