I recognize that my coaches have game knowledge that can and will help me and my team to grow and get better as gamers and as people. I will try my best to learn what they teach me and not interrupt or be rude to them during practices and games. I will not contact my coach directly outside of designated practice, lesson, or game times.
4. If I am on a team with no coach, I pledge to be responsible for myself and/or my team. I will be on time to all of my matches. I will be proactive in making sure my scores are reported properly.
