The Linganore Youth Football-Cheer and Pom-Pon programs are based on achieving a fun, positive, complete and rewarding experience for all participants.  Instead of focusing on just winning and competition our programs focus on skill development and life skill lessons.  The key objectives are to create a safe environment where each individual can experience an improvement of skill development and achieve their maximum potential while learning important lessons that will lead to success in life.  It is our desire to encourage your childs best effort and continued participation in youth sports.

In addition to sport specific fundamentals we expect our coaches to develop morals and character in our young athletes.  Research has shown how character development in sports only occurs when a systematic character building approach is initiated for athletes.  Here are a few questions we have a goal of achieving positive improvement  with during your childs experience as Linganore Youth Sport Participant!

Do they have confidence in their abilities b/c their coach has taught them the value of hard work and preparation over natural ability and entitlement?

Have they been taught the the value of having a teachable spirit and are willing to accept criticism as a compliment because their coach thinks they can get better?

Do they have pride in the knowledge that they have been taught to put forth their best efforts during practice and in games and are they prideful of their unselfishness and willingness to help their team?

Do they have integrity in that their word is their bond and are they willing to participate in fairly in athletic events, respecting officials and following the rules of the game without attempting to gain advantage over the rules?

Have they developed the discipline necessary to demonstrate attentiveness, enthusiasm, sportsmanship, respect for authority and accepting personal responsibility?

Have they developed a sense of positive competitive perseverance, knowing that losing with grace and the desire to improve are merits unto themselves?

Have they developed a sense of accountability for their actions and willingness to accept the consequences of these actions?

And finally, have they learned that the good of the team supercedes any notion of personal gain or glory?

Your commitment to our programs will ensure that the future of youth sports in our community will continue to flourish and grow.

Thank you in advance for being a proud ambassador of Linganore Youth Sports Programs!
