It is a partnership of Student/Athletes, Parents, Adult Leaders, and Clergy that promotes healthy competition as well as the emotional and spiritual growth of each participant. The SJAA encourages all involved to live Christian values and grow in their relationship with Christ and His Church."
I therefore agree:
1. I will embrace the mission statement of the SJAA and use its contents as a guide for my child's participation.
2. I will communicate with all involved in a Christian manner.
3. My family and I will be active members in the Saint Joseph Parish community.
4. I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.
5. I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
6. I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and
courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game,
practice or other sporting event.
7. I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent
such as booing and taunting; refusing to shake hands; or using profane language or gestures.
8. I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of the athletes.
9. I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
10. I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race,

by the outcome of a game or his/her performance.
12. I will praise my child for competing fairly and trying hard, and make my child feel like a winner every time.
13. I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a mistake or losing a competition.
14. I will emphasize skill development and practices and how they benefit my child over winning. I will also deemphasize
games and competition in the lower age groups.
15. I will promote the emotional and physical well-being of the athletes ahead of any personal desire I may have for my
child to win.
16. I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss, or confront coaches at
the game field, and will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place.
17. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from
their use at all sports events.
18. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official
