Anyone that shows a conduct problem on the playing field will be kicked out of the game and give up all rights in coaching in TIFI the following season. All coaches are expected to adhere by the Coaches Code of Ethics, the Player Code of Ethics, and the TIFI rules governing sportsmanship. This game is intended to be fun and entertaining to the kids. Coaches are to remember that they are role models and are expected to set examples for the players of TIFI.
