Our 7 Essential Components
- We welcome all children and youth involved in the youth sports programs. Everyone will be treated fairly and with respect regardless of color, race, sex, disability, national origin, or religion.
- All children and youth in our community who fulfil program registration requirements will be given equal opportunity to participate in Fort Rucker's Youth Sports and Fitness Program.
- All programs offered by Youth Sports and Fitness will provide quality facilities and quality equipment at a reasonable cost to eligible patrons.
- Fort Rucker's Youth Sports and Fitness program will recruit and train volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of our youth. Our volunteers will exemplify role models, mentors, and facilitators.
- Individuals acting in coaching and leadership positions within Fort Rucker's Youth Sports and Fitness Programs must serve by example and promote sportsmanship and fair play.
- All practices and games affiliated with Fort Rucker's Youth Sports and Fitness should be challenging, enjoyable, but most of all a learning experience for all participants.
- Fort Rucker's Youth Sports and Fitness programs offers a variety of sports and camps. However, our primary focus is not on outcome goals like the final score but on helping athletes develop, discover new passions, and enjoy their sport(s).
