If Honoring the Game is to become the youth sports standard, it needs a clear definition. At PCA we say that Honoring the Game goes to the "ROOTS" of positive play. Each letter in ROOTS stands for an important part of the game that we must respect. The R stands for Rules. The first O is for Opponents. The next O is for Officials. T is for Teammates, and the S is for Self."

 Coach:

All SLFC coaches are double goal coaches.  A double goal coach has more than one goal. 

The first goal is to win.  The second, more important goal is to teach life lessons through sports.

A double goal coach will never comprimise the second to achieve the first.  A double goal coach will not win-at-all-costs.

Parent:

As a parent, our first goal is not to win.  We want them to compete and win, but more importantly we want to teach them.

So our main goal is the second goal (to teach life lessons through sports), and we leave the first goal (to win) to the coaches.
