• Treat players, parents, opponents, coaches, and referees with fairness, generosity, courtesy, and respect.
• I will control my mouth on the field and only use kind words towards coaches, teammates, opposing teams, opposing players, referees, and spectators. Talking back to a coach or any referee is not acceptable. There is a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for profanity.

• Before leaving the game and practice fields I will help tidy up the area. I will "Sweep the Barn" Leaving only footprints behind.
• Finding ways to do more! On the field, in school, in your community.
• Having a growth mindset instead of a fixed one.
• I realize that the pursuit of excellence is one that requires lifelong learning and improvement and that as such it is important that I learn not only from my coach, but also from myself, from my teammates, and from outside references and learning opportunities (i.e. watching games of all levels, opportunities to play in other environments within our club and outside of our club, etc.).
• I will understand our 4 mantras and why they are important to our club.
• I will make every effort to protect our club culture.
• I will be a mentor to the younger teams and will leave a legacy.
