League Standards

General Attitude- we work very hard to encourage each participant to look at these types of programs as huge privileges to praise God for. We encourage a high standard of respect for peers, coaches, and parents. We love helping participants improve and work through challenges. We do not allow disruptive participants who are not proving to be coachable to remain in our program though they are almost always welcome to try again next season. We cannot tolerate yelling, cursing, or physical burst of anger. It is so important that we provide the safest environment possible.

General Athletics Standards-

Dress code: male and female participants must wear tops covering shoulders, chest, and belly. Bottoms must be long enough to cover half of the thigh. Coaches and volunteers are instructed to directly contact a player’s parent/guardian to request a player change if they feel attire does not meet guidelines.
When we play soccer, participants must wear cleats and shin guards and their shin guards must be covered by their soccer socks. For all other activities players must be wearing socks and sneakers. Coaches and volunteers are instructed to remove any player from activity if they are not wearing the appropriate safety apparel. Players must bring their gear to every event as we may be doing more than 1 sport or activity at a time.
Coarse joking, teasing, cursing, and using the Lord’s name in vain will not be permitted. Please note that this includes any use of “oh my….” Coaches and volunteers will be instructed to directly, verbally correct any participant or family member that is not using appropriate language.
Gossiping is not allowed among league participants and their families. This includes topics on how others choose to parent, worship, vote, how they look, etc… This includes sharing other’s personal information, even if framed as a prayer request. Please speak to and about others in ways that seek to build up and edify this community. Participants should seek to turn away and lovingly correct gossip.
Regardless of contrary venue signage, there will be absolutely no alcohol, drug, or tobacco use permitted at any league events.
Participants must do their best to be cooperative with the coaches and volunteers. We will be doing a myriad of activities and request players do their best to participate. Players who are choosing not to participate will be asked to stay with their family until they are willing to participate. This allows coaches to remain safely engaged with other participants.
Participants are expected to be respectful to coaches, volunteers, and to each other. This includes answering when being spoken to, cooperating with what is being asked, and showing courtesy to their peers.
Participants and their families will be responsible for being good stewards of any location we are playing in. This includes bringing their empty water bottles back home, picking up any wrappers or litter, orange peels, etc…
Participants understand and accept that the coaches will be actively coaching. These events are filled with immense opportunity to grow in more than just athletic abilities. Players will be coached in their sportsmanship, friendships, faith, respectfulness, and so much more. This includes being lovingly corrected, actively encouraged, and cheerfully challenged.
There will be no fighting, verbal or physical, on or off premises between league participants. Participants and/or family members may be asked to leave and/or not return to league events.
Participants understand registration fees must be paid in full and all registration documents must be signed and submitted to complete their registration. Only fully registered members are permitted to participate in events. Fees are not refundable.
We will use God’s word as our direction in seeking to resolve disputes. Participants agree to first go to anyone they have a dispute with one on one. If they are unable to find resolution, they agree to go to Coach John or Coach Kimberly for help resolving the dispute.
Participants agree to not tease or act harshly with anyone who is having difficulty participating in an event. They understand someone may need to sit with their parent for safety, direction, or comfort and that this is not punitive. They agree to share in encouraging others without putting them down. It can take time for others to feel comfortable sharing in every activity. They acknowledge not everyone has the same fitness or ability
Participants understand that it can take time to learn new techniques, ideas, and even league standards. There is no perfect this side of Heaven and we will seek to celebrate reconciliation rather than acting without mercy. Parents and Guardians should encourage their child to forgive and give others the opportunity to do better.
Participants understand we will be praying, reading the Bible, and actively encouraging behaviors based on God’s Word and Christ’s example.
