The Maryland Soccer Foundation Endorses the Children Bill of Rights in Sports.

Every child deserves the chance to play sports and be treated with respect and care. That’s the heart of the Children’s Bill of Rights in Sports. The Maryland Soccer Foundation is proud to fully endorse this important initiative because it’s all about creating opportunities for kids to grow, learn, and thrive through sports in a supportive and positive environment..

When sports are done right, they can be a powerful force for good. They help kids stay healthy, prevent serious illnesses, promote fairness and inclusion for everyone—whether it’s breaking down gender barriers, welcoming kids with disabilities, reducing racial biases, or building stronger, more connected communities.

All Children Have The Right:

1. To play sports.
2. To safe and healthy environments.
3. To qualified program leaders.
4. To developmentally appropriate play.
5. To share in the planning and delivery of their activities.
6. To an equal opportunity for personal growth.
7. To be treated with dignity.
8. To enjoy themselves.
