Chandler Park’s #1 focus is the kids at hand and we thrive on providing a positive, safe, and fun environment for children to learn and play sports.  Therefore, we ask that you review and sign this pledge before enrolling your child in the camp.
 
The core values of the DYLA:
 
I WILL emphasize being a good sport and the importance of sportsmanship.  I will respect the game, other players’, coaches, and all staff members.
 
I WILL be supportive through success and mistakes.  I will be there to support my child emotionally and continue to be proud no matter the outcome, knowing that mistakes are okay and a part of learning and building.
 
I WILL demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.
 
I WILL take responsibility for ensuring my child arrives to the program on time and is dressed properly to participate in sporting activities.
 
 
*I will abide by all guidelines listed above.  I understand that if I fail to meet the expectations of the Parent Pledge, Chandler Park Conservancy has the right to penalize myself.

The following vital information for all parents with children participating in the program.  Please review the points and keep this sheet to refer back to if needed.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS: On days of inclement weather (thunderstorms, rain, etc) DYLA will NOT meet. Parents will be notified of inclement weather days as soon as Chandler Park Conservancy makes the decision to cancel programming. Parents will be contacted via email or phone. Contact Yvette Bass at 313-264-1414 if you are unsure about inclement weather day plans.
 
LATE PICK-UP: Chandler Park will not offer a “latchkey” program. It is vital to the integrity of the program that children are dropped-off and picked-up on time!
 
RESPECT THE OFFICIALS:  While it may be easy to second-guess your child’s coach from the sidelines, most parents forget or overlook how challenging it is for coaches to manage multiple kids who are all at multiple skill levels.  The job of being a coach is an incredibly difficult task so be sure to support the CP SPY coaches as much as possible.  If you have an issue with a coach please contact program directors Yvette Bass at 313.264.1414 / yvettejoy.cpc@gmail.com or Liam McIlroy at 313.802.0136 / liammcilroy3@gmail.com.
 
REFRAIN FROM THREATENING LANGUAGE OR PHYSICAL AGGRESSION: There is never a place in youth sports to use vulgarities, threaten, intimidate, or use physical aggression.  Also be aware of the language you may use while on the phone during a program session.  If you have to take a call that might get heated, please step away for the practice area; often times we can get wrapped up in a conversation and lose track of the environment we are in.  Any physical or verbal aggression against DYLA coaches, participants, staff, or other parents will not be tolerated.  Anyone found guilty of verbal/physical aggression during program hours will promptly be asked to leave the park and their child may unfortunately be removed from the program.  
 
WATCH FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL PLAYERS AT ALL TIMES: Be sure to pay attention to injuries, including concussions, and respond to them in a timely manner.  Additionally, pay attention to signs of youth sport burnout and be sure to respond to your child if they need help.  Please feel free to speak with coaches or program staff if you feel your child’s emotional or physical well-being is being compromised.
