• Encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating support for all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice or other sports events. 
• Treat players, coaches, fans and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.  • Place the emotional and physical well being of players ahead of any personal desire to win.
