Sometimes in the heat of the moment, the excitement of the game, we forget. Let's all pledge to remember this ....

• Always play by the rules.
• Don't lose your temper.
• Cheer good plays made by either team.
• Don't talk trash or tease or goad opponents.
• Win or lose, be sure to shake hands with opponents and officials after a game.
• Don't yell at teammates for making a mistake. Never criticize teammates or coaches on the sideline.
• Admit your mistakes instead of making excuses or blaming others.
• Try your hardest on every play, even if your team is losing by a lot.
• Point out incorrect calls when they go in your favor.
• Don't argue with calls that go against you.
• Don't show off.
• Have fun!
