• Demand that my child treats coaches, officials, and other players with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex, or ability
• Teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning
• Praise my child for competing fairly and trying hard

As a Wiseburn Little League parent/family member, I WILL NOT:

• Force my child to participate
• Engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent
• Boo, taunt, refuse to shake hands, or use profane language

I pledge to follow this code of conduct.
