The Pike Area Youth Athletic League wants participation in team sports to be fun and expects support from both parents and players to achieve this goal. We provide the football and cheerleading programs so children can be given opportunities to fully achieve their football/cheerleading potential in an organized and competitive environment. In order to help insure the success of the program we all must recognize that our actions and words can have a lasting effect upon the other participants in the league, both positive and negative. We need you, as a youth participant, to join us in being a positive role model. Each youth participant of PAYAL is required to sign and adhere to the guidelines set forth in our "Participant Commitment Letter", which is available for download below.
There is joy in winning, but pride develops in doing your best whether winning or losing. This pride is known as team spirit, and that will be remembered and cherished more than the team's record.
