WJW-WJT Families-

Thank you to all that were able to attend our tribute to all of our area's first responders dur-

ing the Blue vs. Gold game this past week. It was a great turnout and I have received several

emails from area organizations thanking us. There is a nice write-up in this week's Webster

Herald with pictures from the ceremony.

We have been very fortunate this season with beautiful weather for most of our games, but it

looks like that might come to an end this week as there is rain in the forecast for Sunday. I

guess it couldn't last forever!

We are rapidly approaching the playoff season and several of our teams are in the hunt for

a playoff spot. Great work to all of the players and coaches that have worked so hard to get

where they are this season.

The cheerleaders have their first competition of the season this weekend and have done a

great job getting prepared. There were several curling parties Friday night in preparation

and the girls had a blast!

Thank you again to all of the volunteers who make our game days run smoothly. Please check

with your Team Manager to find out what your schedule is and be sure to arrive on time for

your position.

Best of luck to everyone this weekend!

Go Webster!

AYFCL Code of Conduct Each Parent / Legal Guardian signed this Pledge:

I understand that the game and events are for the children, not the adults.

I will encourage good sportsmanship. I will set an example by demonstrating good sportsmanship and posi-

tive support for all players, coaches, officials, board members, and other adults at all AYFCL functions

(This includes practices, games, and other events).

I will provide support for coaches and AYFCL staff working with my child to provide an enjoyable experience

for all.

I will demand a drug, alcohol, and tobacco free sports environment for my child and agree to refrain from

their use at AYFCL events.

I will require that my child treat other players, coaches, officials, and adults with respect.

I will treat other players, coaches, officials, and adults with respect.

I will require and assume responsibility for my child treating assigned equipment with care. I will assume the

financial responsibility for all lost or damaged equipment

I will abide by the AYFCL and organization rules and regulations.

No persons other than players, coaches, medics, or AYFCL officials are allowed on the field. There are no

exceptions to this. All game filming must be done outside the sectioned off area.

I will refrain from coaching my child from the spectators area, as I understand that there will be no non-

certified coaching allowed.

The WJW-WJT Program strives at being the best in providing a positive Sportsman-

ship Environment for our players. Our program is bigger than any one player, coach

or spectator. Each of us is a steward of our entire organization. Positive Sportsman-

ship means we encourage members of both teams, we keep all comments positive, and

we leave coaching to the coaches. This is youth sports, not the NFL. Criticizing, disre-

specting or heckling the officials, coaches or opponents will not be tolerated at all. The

same goes for abusive language. You are respons ible for family members and

friends attending the games. Help make this a positive and

fun experience for all! Be the role model of Sportsmanship!

Positive Sportsmanship
