As we get closer to kicking off our season I want to remind everyone of something that is extremely important to me and to Tatum Youth Football💚
We take pride in how we represent Tatum. Whether we are at home or traveling to another community the way our players, parents, families, coaches and fans carry themselves is a reflection of our entire organization and our town.
As everyone signed at sign ups TYF has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. There will be absolutely no yelling at or disrespecting referees, coaches, players, teammates, parents, board members, myself or one another. This applies to everyone who comes through our gates or sits in our stands.
If an incident occurs you will be asked to leave. Depending on the situation you and your athlete may be removed from the organization with no refund. We hope we never have to enforce that policy but we absolutely will if necessary.
Please remember…this is Little League football. There are no professional athletes on that field. There are no professional coaches on those sidelines. I am certainly not a professional either😂 We are parents and volunteers giving our time and doing the very best we can for these kids.
There will be missed calls. There will be mistakes. There will be wins and losses. There will be moments when we don’t all agree. In those moments we ask for kindness, grace and respect. Approaching anyone the day of a game is not the place or time.
At the end of the day these are KIDS. This is Little League. And this is supposed to be FUN💚
Let’s cheer loud, encourage every kid, show grace to one another and represent TATUM in a way we can all be proud of. It takes all of us. Let’s do this together and make this our BEST YEAR YET🦅💚🏈
GO EAGLES!
