Bullying, Cyber-bullying and Retaliation Prevention Policy

Saugus Pop Warner Football & Cheerleading, Inc. (SPW) expects that all members of the organization will treat each other in a civil manner and with respect and appreciation for differences. The goal of SPW is to ensure a safe, healthy, sustainable environment where all members are expected to be respectful and socially responsible.

SPW is committed to providing all players, coaches, and staff with a safe environment that is free from bullying and cyberbullying. This commitment is an integral part of our comprehensive efforts to promote learning football, cheerleading, teamwork and good sportsmanship, and to prevent and eliminate all forms of bullying and other harmful and disruptive behavior that can impede the teaching process.

SPW will not tolerate any unlawful or disruptive behavior, including any form of bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation during practices, games and other WPW events. We will investigate promptly all reports and complaints of bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation, and take prompt action to end that behavior and restore a sense of safety for all involved. We will support commitment in all aspects of our program, from parents, players, coaches, volunteers and board members.

The SPW Bullying Prevention and Intervention Policy is a comprehensive approach to addressing bullying and cyberbullying. Every SPW Board Member and Coach is committed to working with players, staff, families, the Saugus Police Department and other agencies and the community to prevent issues of violence. 

We have established this policy for preventing, intervening and responding to incidents of bullying, cyberbullying and retaliation. The SPW Board of Directors will be responsible for the oversight of this policy. Players and Parents/Guardians agree to follow this policy and acknowledge agreement with their signature below.
