With T-Ball, Softball, and Baseball games officially kicking off this week, the diamonds are going to be packed with energy, excitement, and a lot of great memories.โฃ
โฃ
As we head into opening week, we want to share a quick reminder about what makes Hope Summer Playground so special: our community. To ensure a safe, fun, and positive environment for all of our 4 to 12-year-olds, please take a moment to review our Parents & Spectators Code of Conduct.โฃ

Hope Summer Playground is a community-run program dedicated to providing a safe and joyful environment for our children. As a parent or spectator, I pledge to:โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐: I will remember that this league is for the children, not the adults. I will keep my focus on my childโs enjoyment and development rather than the scoreboard.โฃ

โฃ
๐๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ก: During games, I will refrain from giving instructions to players from the sidelines, allowing them to focus on their teammates and coaches.โฃ
