Volunteer Pledge

All administrators and volunteers are bound by the “Pledge,” “Code” and “Standard of Conduct”. Each game and practice I participate in or administer over will provide me with an opportunity to be a Champion of Character. I pledge, as an AYF member to accept the five core character values of American Youth Football and will do my best to represent AYF, my Conference, my Association, my Team, and myself by: respecting my opponent, the officials, my team, my administrators, coaches, myself and the game; taking responsibility for my actions in all areas of my life; having the integrity to stand by my word; providing leadership where I serve others while striving to be a personal and team leader; and being an example of sportsmanship by holding myself to the highest standards of fair play.

Coaches can make a conscious choice to uphold the best of values. Individual players can make choices that will define them as athletes. American Youth Football believes in the following five core values.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Dale City Sports Club, INC. promotes Confidence and Motivation in a safe environment to play sports by emphasizing discipline, skill development and sportsmanship. We are a league member with USA RCX Sports, LLC. who operates the NFL Flag program under license from the National Football League and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Our tackle football program is a member of the American Youth Football (AYF) that competes in the Atlantic Region Conference.

Dale City Sports Club's football program gives our area athletes a possibility to gain football experience prior to middle school football. It exists to teach players the basic skills of table football, teamwork, and good sportsmanship, under the guidance of certified youth coaches. Our all-volunteer staff of administrators coaches and team managers are dedicated to offering tackle football, flag football, and cheerleading programs to Prince William County and surrounding communities. Football is considered one of the most demanding and rewarding of all little league sports. Therefore, it requires a huge commitment to the program from both player and parent.

Our intent is to focus on the true meaning of the sport and provide a vehicle that allows children to come away feeling energized, educated and eager to continue because of the experience they had growing up in this program. Our league is dedicated to making a long-lasting impact in our community; by teaching valuable Life Lessons that go far beyond the Game and the playing field. We are a character building and self-esteem program that cares for each and everyone in our community. DCSC's Motto Build Different is more than a slogan it is a standard of goals we teach -- hard bring long-term success. Life is filled with wins and losses our end game is to ensure our kids don't give up when they lose.

If you have questions or would like to share ideas, you may contact our program administrators via email [email protected].
