Purpose

Youth Sports Programs in our County Parks play an important role in the physical and social development of our children.  It is essential for parents, coaches, spectators, volunteers, and officials to encourage good sportsmanship into our children.  Furthermore, parents, coaches, spectators, volunteers, and officials should be models of good sportsmanship and should lead by example by demonstrating fairness, respect, and self control.
