The Brandon Bears Youth Football and Cheerleading Organization is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for our children to learn teamwork and participate in sports.
Goals:
Our goal is to develop and promote the idea of responsibility, hard work, discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork. The individual growth of our community's children is enhanced through the sprit of competition and fair play. These goals will be accomplished by providing a structured program designed to educate both children and families in all aspects of the sports of football and cheerleading.
Zero Tolerance Anti-Bullying Policy:
Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.
Bullying can be:
Emotional – being unfriendly(emotionally and physically), sending hurtful text messages, tormenting, (e.g. hiding equipment, threatening gestures)
Physical - pushing, kicking, hitting, punching or any use of violence
Racist – racial taunts, graffiti, gestures
Sexual – unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments
Homophobic – because of, or focusing on the issue of sexuality
Verbal – name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumors, teasing, online social media
All Players, Cheerleaders, Coaches, Officials, and Parents should have an understanding of what bullying is
As an organization we take bullying seriously. Players, Cheerleaders, and parents should be assured that they would be supported when bullying is reported
BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
If a child commits an act of bullying, there will be discipline measures in place to protect the organization, and most importantly the victim.
