K / 1st GRADE CLINICS

Team sports are one of the best ways to help children develop physically and emotionally. Youth sports develop life skills, promote a healthy lifestyle, and increase self-esteem.

However, according to a youth study as many as 50% of youth will quit organized sports by the age 12 because of too much pressure and competition. In this study, key reasons why kids stopped participating included the following: 43% of the youth athletes revealed they stopped having fun and 27% felt like they weren’t good enough to play.

Therefore, in an effort to promote a positive environment and healthy competition, Buckeye Valley Youth Basketball program requires that every parent agrees to the Parental Pledge. It states the following:

“I, the parent or guardian of a Buckeye Valley Basketball team player, agree that the most important outcome of any game is for my child to have fun. My child needs my approval and support, regardless of what happens in the game.

I will refrain from the use of negative or derogatory language aimed at the Officials, the Coaches, my child, or other players. I will encourage my child and all others in the game and will let the coach be the coach. I will do my best to model the sportsmanship-like behavior I wish my child to adopt, and to support the coach in making this the best possible experience for my child.”
