PARENT COACHING VOLUNTEER LEAGUE

The Texas Kingdom Christian Sports Association is a parent-volunteer coaching league, and each team roster is required to have a volunteer parent as the coach. Without a parent lead coach on each team, the Texas Christian Sports Ministry community league couldn't move forward, create positive memories, or build community. Not having a parent volunteer as a coach isn't an exception to the cancellation policy.

SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT

Players, coaches, parents, and visitors will conduct themselves at all times in a manner consistent with the mission of Texas Kingdom Christian Sports Association (TKCSA):

To provide witness of Jesus Christ by offering children an opportunity to learn and play with their friends in a Christian sports ministry environment.

Specifically:

All adults and children will practice good sportsmanship,
Players will wear appropriate attire during games, including their team uniform,
Inappropriate language will not be used,
Officials and scorekeepers will not be verbally abused or otherwise disparaged,
Coaches and parents will strive to create and maintain a positive, uplifting environment,
Parents will ensure their children (players) appropriately understand these expectations.
