A Message From Archbishop Dolan
Thanks to the leadership and guidance of the men and women who serve on the archdiocesan Youth Athletic Advisory Board, we are introducing sportsmanship pledges for all student-athletes, coaches and parents/guardians who in involved with athletics throughout the archdiocese.
These pledges are more than mere pieces of paper we are asking you to sign. These pledges show that we are sincere about teaching good sportsmanship to our children and modeling that good behavior ourselves. We should be mindful that our athletic programs serve as a support to the broader education and faith formation provided to our young people. Participating on a team gives these young people the opportunity to learn and grow and should serve as a base for positive Christian development.
I am proud to endorse these sportsmanship pledges. I wish each of you a safe and enjoyable athletics season.
With prayerful best wishes, I remain,
Faithfully in Christ,
Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan
Archbishop of Milwaukee
