All coaches must agree to the Acknowledgement statement below.  HEAD COACHES must also indicate affirmation and agreement.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I commit to the Lord and to the Upward Leadership Team that I will serve as a coach for the entirety of the season unless I am prevented from doing so by family emergency or personal injury.  I understand that any negative personal habits, such as smoking, swearing, alcohol/drug abuse, immorality, pornography, etc, will hinder my ability to coach effectively and may negatively affect the spiritual development of the players on my team.  Understanding that these children will be looking up to me, I commit to setting a worthy behavioral example for them to emulate.  I acknowledge that failure to keep this commitment to living above reproach may be cause for the Leadership Team to remove me as a coach.  I also give South Rock Christian Church permission to do a personal background check on me.
