As our Spring season comes to a close, the board of
directors would like to thank you for being a part of The Fire organization and
allowing us the privilege of watching your daughters grow, both as athletes and
as young ladies.
Because The Fire exists to develop “Life Champions” and to
instill in these young ladies the values of Courage, Commitment, Respect, and
Sportsmanship, we would like to remind you of a few things.First, and foremost, we want to provide a
safe environment for your daughters; one that is nurturing and reflects the
values of The Fire.For that reason, we
ask that all Fire Families please show respect for our girls and their families
by refraining from any foul or otherwise inappropriate
language, as well as tobacco use (both smoking and smokeless tobacco) within 100 feet of any playing field, during
practices and tournaments.In addition, Richland
County School District
2 bans all tobacco use by anyone while on any District 2 property.This includes the softball field at Ridge
View High School.We do not want to jeopardize our privilege of
using the Ridge View field, or any other field, for practices.Also, we ask that you “leave no trace” by
disposing of all trash in appropriate receptacles.We want to leave a positive impression of The
Fire on those around us.
Please remember that it is very confusing to the players
when, during a game, parents shout out instructions which may be contrary to
what their coach(es) have told them.Show support for our girls by cheering for them and encouraging
them.Coaches, also please be mindful
that you are role models for these young ladies and act accordingly.
We look forward to the continued success of The Fire in
helping you to “…develop life champions by improving the knowledge, skills, and
abilities required in competitive sports.”
