Keep the language clean with no swearing
Be respectful of the officials
Be respectful of their fans and parents
Represent our school positively
Do not engage in negative social media dialogue with opposing teams and fans
Best of luck to our players and coaches. Go Billies! Please contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Stay classy Fredonia!
