15. As a fan, I represent not only KCFS but the city of Kamloops.  I understand that any concerns about officiating and/or coaching at any time must be directed to the team manager. I will honour the 24 hour rule before bringing concerns forward.  I also understand that poor behavior during practices or games may result in expulsion from the football complex, where I must wait next to my car in the parking area for my child.  If this occurs, it may result in expulsion from the club

16.  I understand that safety is of the utmost importance and respect the concussion protocol KCFS follows, and recognize that a doctor's note may be required to resume field time if my child is injured.

17. I will respect the field that my child is playing on and will not do any damage. During games I will sit in bleachers and off the track area in a stadium. If there are no bleachers I will sit on the sideline that is assigned to the city I am in.
