- I and my guests will be a positive role model for my child and encourage good sportsmanship by showing respect, courtesy, and support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at all times.
- I and my guests will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct such as booing, taunting, using profane language or gestures, with any official, coach, player, or parent at any time.
