Ridgeland Athletic Youth Academy seeks to instill positive character-building traits in our community's youth through the demonstration of good sportsmanship, respect for others, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship.  We ask that parents and their guests attending RAYA sponsored events help us by reflecting these character traits at practices and at games. When attending RAYA sponsored events, I therefore agree to abide by the following code of conduct:  I will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials, and spectators at every game, practice, or other sporting event.

I will not participate in or encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of the athletes. I will teach my child to play by the spirit of the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence. I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials, and spectators with respect regardless of race, sex, religion, or ability. I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for making a mistake or losing a competition.
