Conduct Policy

Brigade Lacrosse abides by a strict Code of Conduct governing all coaches, players, officials and parents. The purpose of the Code is to ensure that all of those people associated with Brigade Lacrosse treat each other with dignity and respect.

The Code of Conduct is a condition of membership for all players, parents, coaches and officials. All members of Brigade agree to abide by the Code of Conduct and to be subjected to the consequences of violating the Code. It must be understood by all players, parents and coaches that registering in a Brigade program binds you to this Code of Conduct and that its validity is hereby a matter of record and is not dependent upon physical signature.
