Code of Conduct for Youth Sports
Our mission is to develop our youth into productive and caring citizens while respecting the uniqueness of each individual.
We will encourage all individuals to achieve their full potential. In providing this service to our youth, we hope they will
enjoy the activities, gain knowledge that will be useful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and develop a positive attitude
towards others. Players are expected to show respect to their team members, coaches, other players, and game officials.
Players may not make public displays of anger or disrespect during a game. Players are responsible for attending practices & games,
and if unable to attend are asked to call their coach. Coaches have the right to have a player sit on the bench for any misconduct.
