Do any of you guys utilize this for your boys? If so would you be willing to share?

The more rules you enforce, the more problems you make for yourself. I'm a pretty liberal guy, and I try to be realistic. Anything you teach these kids in their 4 years will mostly likely bounce off of them depending on their economic and family situations.
That being said my checklist would be
1) Do they enjoy football
2) Do they trust our players and coaching staff
3) Do they have a plan for post graduation
4) How can I make their plan a reality
That is all you can do in my opinion.
Not everyone will be going to an Ivy league school, but they all deserve a future in which they can fulfill their dreams.

BEHAVIOR CHECKLIST:
1. Do what is right all the time.
2. When in doubt, refer to rule #1.

Here's the only "checklist" we use. It is for how to treat teammates, underclassmen, and friends.
If you have to stop and ask yourself if an activity is hazing or not, it is. To further clarify though, here are six broad questions to ask yourself about an activity:
Will the activity achieve one or more of the predetermined goals of the football team?
Would you be willing to perform the activity in front of a school administrator?
Would you feel comfortable if the players parents were present during the activity?
Would you be prepared to go to court to defend the merit of this activity?
Would you be willing to share a written description of this activity for other teams and the state athletic association to use?
Would boosters and Alumni approve of such an activity?
If the answer is "no" to any one of these questions, then it's hazing. Don't do it.

We have the parents and child each sign a form in the beginning regarding their behavior and what will be expected. It isn't a checklist but it does go over what will be tolerated and what won't in advance.

Coachjim,
Will you share some details regarding the form that you have parents and athletes sign? It sounds very interesting!

The most effective checklist that I have used and we work our rules around them is:
Never make a decision to do, say, act or wear anything that would disrespect:
1. Your God.
2. Your Family.
3. Your School.
4. Yourself.
We tell them this 'should' be their montra for everytime they make a decision. If one of those things (mainly the 1st one) doesn't pertain to them, simply go to the next one. But keep it in this order.
We remind them that as an individual, they have a bigger effect on those around them then they truely understand at this time. Their actions will reflect on those closest to them and they need to understand that as they make their decisions in all cases every day.

Just ask yourself "What Would Leon Do?"

If you couldn't explain it to your grandmother, then you probably shouldn't do it.
