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 for adults.

I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials, with respect
regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.
