Over 12,400 children in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year. That's a classroom full of children every single day, year after year.

Support Childhood Cancer by purchasing a Gold Ribbon from The Boise Noon Optimist Club.

The Boise Noon Optimist Club established the Optimist Youth Football Program in 1949. The primary goal of the OYF Program is the "development of boys and girls to be better citizens". That continues to be one of the primary goals of the program today.

Coaches, referees, and parents form a trio of role models from which these young boys and girls learn behaviors that they will carry into adulthood. The OYF Program, in association with the District Three Referees Association, has a Code of Conduct for both the coaches and referees, and we feel it is equally important that the parents also have a Code of Conduct. Cooperation, respect, and maturity among all the adults in the OYF Program will encourage those qualities in the players themselves.

1) Children play OYF Football for their own fun! They are not here to entertain you; they are not miniature professional athletes, and this is not a "farm club" for an athletic career.

2) Encourage fair play. Always play by the rules.

3) Be supportive, i.e. be sure the player attends practices; is picked up on time; and attends games.

4) Show respect for everyone involved in the program, especially the referees and the opposing team. Wait until after the game before approaching the coach with questions or concerns.

5) Recognize the value and importance of your child's coach or coaches. They are volunteers who donated a tremendous amount of time and effort to make this a positive experience for your child and you. Please maintain respect for these volunteers at all times.

6) At games, make sure your comments are positive, or make no comment at all. Parents and spectators are required to be on the opposite side of the field from the teams at all times during games. Applaud good plays and efforts by the opposing team, as well as your own team. NEVER ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a game.

7) Condemn unsportsmanlike conduct in any way, shape or form.

8) Respect the decisions of the referees - even if you do not agree with them. We do promote a Jr. Referee program, please respect these volunteers - this is their training ground as well.

9) Please remember, as a parent, you are a role model - do not use profane language or harass the players or referees.

10) Any parents or spectators who do not abide by this Code of Conduct will be asked to leave the fields.

If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.






CHOICE.
When you choose to help complete Phase 2 of the Optimist Youth Sports Complex, you are making a positive difference in the lives of kids, and also in your community.

LEGACY. Your contribution today ensures that thousands of kids will experience the same fun, exciting, teambuilding experiences you had in Optimist Football & Cheer.

GROWTH. Kids don't stay kids forever. Without these extra fields -- as many as 60 teams, 1320 players, and 300 cheerleaders will have to travel to outlying towns in order to participate. Your donation TODAY will keep that from happening.

TODAY. Your individual contribution will make a difference for many. By next year, 2006, we can add 7 fields, 600 parking spaces, a fishing pond, a playground, and a covered picnic area to Boise's newest, youth sports park.

IMPACT. Make an impact with Your Tax-Deductible Donation.

Labor,materials,people & donations are all needed to raise the $1.2 million dollars for this project.

100% of your tax-deductible donation will be applied towards completing Phase 2
