- 1 Corinthians 9:25a Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. We will win or lose as an organization. Victories and losses are to be shared.

- Philippians 3:14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Competition serves to measure ability, hard work, determination, focus, training and teamwork, all of which we will strive to improve upon. As a Christians we must strive not to win at all cost but for Him at all cost. We play as a team and we must strive to show Christ in all we do on and off the court.
- 2 Timothy 2:15a Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved. We, as a homeschool organization, must demonstrate to others the values we hold dear. We want our competitors to see Christ through our actions, as well as our voices on the court and in the stands.
- Proverbs 20:7The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them. We recognize ourselves as a Christian organization and expect each player and parent to conduct themselves in a manner becoming of Christ.
