Athletics

 

Athletic programs are for children and to teach them to always practice and promote good sportsmanship. Participants in our athletic programs are not professional athletes, score keepers and game officials are also not professionals, and the coaches are volunteers. Parents or Legal Guardians and other spectators are expected to be good examples for their children or wards by providing positive support, care and encouragement. Parents or Legal Guardians commit to the Granite Falls Parks and Recreation Center Code of Ethics when they register their child or ward for athletic programs.
