Coaches Contract and Agreement
2025 Football/Cheer Season
All coaches are required to read this contract and sign the document prior to coaching.
In doing so, you acknowledge your understanding and willingness to comply with
Oceanway Sports Association policies.
OSA was formed to promote youth football and cheer in the Oceanway Area. OSA
adheres to the following guidelines, including:
• OSA is a Pop Warner Association and places an emphasis on teaching the
fundamentals of football and cheer with a focus on scholastic development.
• OSA follows the rules and regulations of Pop Warner Football and Cheer.
• OSA promotes sportsmanship, team play, leadership and personal development.
COACHES:
• OSA asks you to remember you are teaching young athletes. These players
have different readiness levels for playing football or cheer and it is important to
teach them at a level that they understand. You are to act as a positive role
model, demonstrating behavior that players can respect and aspire to follow in all
areas including with language to the players and with Social Media Platforms.
• Coaches should expect that if they behave outside of the rules of OSA and Pop
Warner that they could face removal from our program. OSA reserves the right to
terminate the coaching privileges of any coach who fails to comply with OSA and
Pop Warner guidelines or acts in a manner conflicting with the standards of the
organization. OSA will play and abide by the Pop Warner, Greater Jacksonville
Pop Warner and OSA Board Approved Rules.

The Head Football coach will receive an equipment kit which will include a first
aid kit, equipment repair kit, game ball and assorted items such as mouth pieces,
chin straps, etc. This kit needs to be kept clean and in good shape and will be
returned to the association at the conclusion of the season for reuse next season.
• Greater Jacksonville will conduct a background check of all coaches who intend to
volunteer within OSA. We reserve the right to exclude volunteers from coaching
within OSA based on the findings of the background check. You will only be
notified if you need to be asked to remove yourself from the program.
• Head Coaches are required to notify the Park Director and the OSA President and Vice President of any injuries sustained by a player during practices and games within 24 of the injury occurring as well as complete the injury report form with the Park Director for OSA records. Coaches will not allow a previously injured player to return to practices/games without documentation from a medical professional that has been reviewed and approved by the Park Director, OSA President/Vice President.

I understand that OSA has a Zero Tolerance Policy with regards to a coaches behavior. I agree that any conduct unbecoming of an OSA Coach that affects the image of your sports as a whole including OSA, NFL Flag, Pop Warner & Babe Ruth Organizations will be grounds for removal from the program.
