Sportsmanship includes behavior and attitude from Board members, coaches, players, officials, parents, and spectators. To encourage a positive support-base for everyone, the Mackinaw Township Recreation Board has adopted a ?Zero Tolerance Policy?.

At no time is anyone other than officials, players, or coaches allowed on field of play during the game. If an injury occurs and the child?s parent is needed, a coach or official will ask the parent to come to the players? aid.
Therefore, Board members, coaches, players, officials, parents, and spectators who demonstrate behavior detrimental to this program may be removed from all activities associated with Mackinaw Township Recreation.

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, encouragement, and sportsmanship to all Board members, coaches, players, officials, parents, and spectators at every game, practice, or other program-related event.
I promise to be a respectful Board member, coach, player, official, parent, and/or spectator, and remember the programs provided by Mackinaw Township Recreation are for the children. By signing this policy, I agree to inform any additional guests I may bring to join in the recreation program and its events of the guidelines regarding zero tolerance.
