Rules Honoring the Game

Opponents

Officials

Teammates

Self

RulesR stands for Rules. Rules keep the game fair. Mustang athletes play by the rules! Even when you think you won’t get caught if you break them…play by the rules!

The Mustang Way…Honoring the Game with ROOTS

OpponentsO is for Opponents. Without opponents, we could have no games. A good opponent pushes us to do our best, so we should be grateful for our opponents. Mustang athletes show respect for opposing coaches and teams, we expect you to do the same!

The Mustang Way…Honoring the Game with ROOTS

OfficialsO is for Officials. Respecting officials can be the most challenging part of Honoring the Game. Officials have a tough job, keeping the game safe and fair for both teams. Officials are not perfect (just like coaches, athletes, and parents!) and sometimes they will make calls that are not in our favor, but Mustang athletes show respect for officials!

TeammatesT is for Teammates. A big part of playing sports is being part of a team. Later in life, you will often be part of a team, and it's essential to learn to work together. When you are on a team, your words and actions – before, during and after practice and games – reflect not only on you, but also on your teammates and coaches. So treat them as you would want them to treat you. Mustang athletes encourage and support each other on and off the field. The Mustang Way…

Honoring the Game with ROOTS

SelfS is for Self. Some people only Honor the Game when their opponents do, but Mustang athletes Honor the Game no matter what the other team or its fans do! We set our own internal standards, and we live up to them no matter what!
