Code of Conduct

At Next Level Sports, the game is about more than points on a scoreboard. It's about respect, growth, and creating an environment where every player, coach, parent, and fan feels safe, supported, and inspired to be their best. This Code of Conduct reflects the standards we hold ourselves to — together.

Whether you're a player, coach, parent, spectator, or official, we ask you to embrace these commitments every time you step into a Next Level program.

What We Stand For

Participation in Next Level Sports is conditioned on respectful and safe conduct. As a player, coach, parent, spectator, or official, I commit to conduct myself in a manner that complies with Next Level Sports' Code of Conduct at all times. Accordingly, I pledge to, at all times adhere to the following:

• Honor the rules and regulations surrounding all Next Level Sports' programming, including but not limited to that of Flag Football, Basketball, Volleyball leagues as well as all Camps and Clinics.

• Treat all players, parents, officials, student-athletes and site staff with respect and dignity, regardless of any differences.

• Refrain from using profanity, derogatory language, or any form of harassment or discrimination to anyone at any time.

• Refrain from any unsportsmanlike conduct — including but not limited to fighting, profanity, aggressive language, or inappropriate behavior. Next Level Sports has a zero tolerance policy for this type of behavior.

Violation of this Code of Conduct may result in warnings, suspension, removal from events, or permanent dismissal from the program without refund as determined by Next Level Sports.
