May 10 - Slade Family FundRaiser a GREAT Success !
Hello Parents, Players and Friends of 4S Ranch Little League, We would like to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who participated in the Slade Family Fundraiser on Saturday. We were blown away by everyone's generosity and enthusiasm!
The Team participation was huge, from the making of signs for the Slade Family, to the donating of money. It was clear from opening the Team Donation Envelopes that everyone really got what this event was about. It was very touching to see several envelopes full of change, knowing that some of our young players had dumped their Piggy Banks into the pot. Other older players personally raised money on their own time, and contributed it to their Team's donations. Way to go!!!
The Snack Bar had it's biggest one day haul in history, taking in over $2,700 in sales. Thank you to all the customers, volunteers and teen workers who made that possible! The Silent Auction was a huge success. Thank you to all who donated items, bid on items, purchased items and volunteered in the operation of the auction.
Congratulations to the Majors Red Sox for raising the most money in our team competition ($950). The Red Sox players voted to recognize the Girls Softball Minors Gold Rush who raised $680. The Gold Rush raised the most money in GSB, and the second most from all 50 teams. As a result of their outstanding effort, the Gold Rush will win the Team Party at Graziano's!
As a result of everyone's efforts, we are proud to be able to donate $20,345 to the Slade Family! This number may go up slightly, as a few teams still have envelopes to turn in. Once again, thank you for showing why we should all be thankful for living in such a great community.
I will teach all children to play fair and do their best.
I will positively support all managers, coaches and players.
I will respect the decisions of the umpires.
I will praise a good effort despite the outcome of the game.
Parent Code of Conduct
Preamble: The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these "six pillars of character."
I therefore agree:
I will not force my child to participate in sports.
I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.
I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.
I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
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.
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.
I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and wellbeing of the athletes.
I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.
I will teach my child that doing one's best is more important than winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his/her performance.
I will praise my child for competing fairly and trying hard, and make my child feel like a winner every time.
I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for making a mistake or losing a competition.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
Wear Those Helmets !
The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation wants to remind you that anyone, under the age of 18, who rides on bicycles, scooters, skateboards, or inline skates at any community park, is required to wear a helmet.
Also, due to safety concerns, there will be no skateboarding in the areas around the Snack Bar and the Bleachers. Please heed the posted signs.
