I recognize that being a member of the community carries with it responsibilities and rewards, and that as an athlete in the community I must not only embrace those responsibilities, but also conduct myself both on and off the playing field in a way which exhibits respect for myself and others. I, therefore, resolve to conduct myself with dignity as an athlete and as a citizen of the community recognizing and accepting that I:

➢ Must accept accountability for my behavior and its outcomes.
➢ Must honor my obligations and promises.
➢ Must exercise self-control.
➢ Must be willing to be fair with others in my dealings on and off the playing field.
➢ Must take pride in myself and my accomplishments, but never at the expense of demeaning another
person or group.
➢ Must respect the efforts of others.
➢ Must respect authority.

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement for my child participating in youth sport and activities by following this Parent/Guardian Creed:

➢ I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches
and officials at every game, practice or other youth sports event.
➢ I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of my personal desire to
win.
➢ I will insist that my child play in a safe and healthy environment.
➢ I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and
enjoyable experience for all.
➢ I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free of drugs, tobacco and alcohol and
will refrain from their use at all youth sports events.
➢ I will remember that the game is for youth not adults.
➢ I will do my very best to make youth sports fun for my child.
➢ I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans and officials with respect regardless
of race, sex, creed or ability.
➢ I promise to help my child enjoy the youth sports experience by doing whatever I can such as being a responsible fan, assisting with coaching or providing  transportation.
