We may also go outside (weather dependent), so sunscreen, hats, sunglasses are all allowed.
Please understand that playing sports can be competitive and stressful, but there will always be
winners and losers in sports and in life. Learning to be a good winner and a good loser is necessary
and poor winners and sore losers will not be tolerated. Putdowns, swears or any other negative
behaviors by a student will result in suspension from the summer sports program and no refund will
be given. Play fair, play honest, and play hard and we will all have an amazing summer!
Please also be aware that running, jumping, throwing, catching and being active may cause bumps,
bruises or even serious injuries. There is no way that I can guarantee that your child will not get hurt
but all necessary precautions will be taken to ensure that your child returns to you safely. By signing

the rules and under control. Also, by signing the form and participating in the program the
