• I will demand a drug, tobacco and alcohol‐free sports environment for my child and agree to assist by refraining from their use at all youth sports events.
• I will remember that the game is for children and not for 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, gender, creed, or ability.
• I will promise to help my child enjoy the youth sports experience within my personal constraints by being a respectful fan, providing transportation or whatever I am capable of doing.
• I understand that this is a competitive program and that there is no guaranteed minimum playing time in each game and I will help my child to understand.
• I understand that the players will develop from competitive team practice including drills and scrimmages, being attentive at games as well as from direct game experience.
