MISSION STATEMENT
Our organization will make every effort to make sure that every child with
the desire to participate gets the opportunity to play or cheer, without
regard to
prior experience, athletic ability or size.
We are committed to instilling Honesty, Loyalty, Integrity, Teamwork, Discipline, Sportsmanship, Respect, Leadership, Trust and Commitment in our young participants. We believe these values and virtues are important to their growth and to them becoming active members of our community and society
These goals will be achieved through organizing our
dedicated volunteers, caring parents, and business associates who wish to partner with our great youth sport
program.
We will instill in our youth the challenge of competition, the joy of victory, the reality of
defeat, the importance of commitment and the spirit of community. Our Scholar Athlete Recognition program is to directly underscore the importance of academic achievement among athletes, and by doing
so, it will prepare them for the challenges of high school and collegiate environments.
Our Goals
-
To provide a wholesome competitiveness within the scope of our rules and regulations that will protect the youth athlete and cheerleader.

-
To lend associations support with remaining NON-INTRUSIVE to local operations.
