As Parent/Guardian(s) of a child(ren) participating in the Windsor Giants Football and Cheerleading organization, I therefore agree to all of the following items:
1. I understand I am financially responsible for all registration fees, fundraising activities, and any additional expenses required of my child (ren) by the Windsor Giants.

2. I will be responsible for dropping off and picking up my child (ren) on time from all events, practices and/or games. I will support, and fulfill parental/guardian responsibilities associated with all fundraising activities. I understand it is MANDATORY that player’s Parent/Guardian must volunteer two (2) HOURS PER CHILD as needed during events, practices, and/or games.
3. I will inform the coach of any disability, including but not limited to, medical, physical or learning, that may affect the safety of my child or others.

7. I will demand that my child treat other players,
coaches, officials and spectators with respect.

9. I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well being of any athlete(s).
10. I will promote the emotional and physical well-being of the athletes ahead of any personal desire
I may have for my child to win.

12. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and/or practices, unless I am an official volunteer coach of the team.
