The Oath of Fairplay

I pledge to honor the rules and play fairly.

I pledge to respect and treat others kindly, on and off the field.

I pledge to play with courage and face challenges bravely.

I pledge to practice discipline, stay focused, and give my best effort.

I pledge to show fortitude and remain strong through difficulties.

I commit to reflect on my behavior, grow, and uphold these virtues
for myself and the community.

The Oath of Fairplay is American Boffer’s standard of behavior. We aim to encourage participants’ growth in these virtues to create the best play environment possible. We believe that virtues can be taught through the arena of play, and that strong communities can grow from such lessons. Our hope is that as our young athletes grow in the sport they can carry the lessons of The Oath of Fairplay into their future behavior as adults.

If there is ever conflict between athletes, we will point to the Oath of Fairplay, for conflict resolution. By keeping our athletes, as well as ourselves, accountable to these principles - we can create a strong community to influence healthy behavior both on and off the field.

Let’s keep kids playing, learning, and growing!

Stay bold,
American Boffer
