Please check the website for updates over the season. Click on latest news for information on the league and the Code of Conduct. Please show great respect and sportsmanship at all games and please no negative remarks towards anyone at anytime. SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE KIDS, BE THE ADULT AND DON'T YELL AT THE OFFICIALS! Finding officials is a difficult job for youth leagues and it is becoming an issue on the high school level too. Why is that? If you talk to most officials they enjoy the games, helping children, but many do not sign up to get yelled at, booed, or ridiculed. If you have never officiated a sport than you really do not realize it is not the easiest thing to do. Officials try to make all calls correctly and most of them do, even on plays that are real close to call, and guess what they do it knowing that probably only half the crowd will be happy and the other half may not agree with them. Mistakes happen, but that does not mean it is time to yell at the official and set a poor example for the kids. So next time you think about saying anything to an official please take the time remember the official is doing their best and by saying negative things to them does not help and is best kept to yourself. Set a good example and cheer the kids on. The league is always looking for officials so please take the time to consider offering your help for your community.
