We have three Core Principles for our Leagues. They are:
Fun
We believe that the primary reason children play sports is to have fun. They love mastering new skills, developing friendships, and healthy competition.
Good Sportsmanship
We believe that learning to play the game is only half the equation. Helping children develop character is the other half. The value of teaching children teamwork, fair play and good sportsmanship goes far beyond the game.
Healthy competition is a natural instinct
However, the “win-at-all-costs” mentality so prevalent in youth sports today is not only destructive to team morale, it severely undermines individual self-esteem. We believe in a healthy competitive environment that allows everyone an opportunity to make the most of their abilities.
We base our League on these Principles. We expect our Coaches abide by them to benefit all BVYBA athletes.
