ERC Code of Conduct

• We are members of the Upper Chesapeake Youth Football League (UCFYL).
• The UCFYL may require players to have a Maryland State ID card ($15, valid for 5 years).
  • A copy of the card must be provided to the coach for eligibility.
  • This ID is essential for postseason games and tournaments, so obtaining it early is highly recommended.
