Regions that participate in the Kids Zone program typically place buttons and posters near the fields as helpful reminders that no matter how intense the game can be, kids need cheerful support from the sidelines. Then there’s the Kids Zone Pledge – parents and spectators are asked to sign the pledge and agree to the following guidelines:
1. Kids are No. 1
2. Fun, not winning is everything.
3. Fans only cheer, and only coaches coach.
4. No yelling in anger.
5. Respect the volunteer referees.
6. No swearing or abusive behavior.
7. No alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
8. No weapons.
9. Leave no trash behind.
10. Set a proper example of sportsmanship.
