MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Gunnison Parks and Recreation Department is to provide a variety of quality recreation programs and events in a safe, healthy atmosphere, and to effectively develop and maintain park and recreation facilities for the community's use and enjoyment, which together enhance the quality of life for all residents and visitors of/to the City of Gunnison.
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
Our main goal is to provide active and equal participation for all participants and to assist each individual in reaching their maximum potential. We are teaching young people a continuing life skill and in no way want to discourage any individual from participating. Our programs sometimes involve competitive games, but winning these games is not our major emphasis. We are teaching people the skills of a sport and the development of friendships and the promotion of sportsmanship. The following principles will be applied in all Gunnison Parks and Recreation youth sports programs, with the exception of Travel Competitive Programs:
- Youth sports will be child-centered, focusing on the physical and emotional development of the child, which will take precedence over winning.
- Children will be respected as individuals, allowing for the large range of emotional and physical well-being, which is common within the same age groups.
- All participants shall be treated equally regardless of athletic ability or talent. All participants will play an equal amount of time as long as they follow the coaches' guidelines.
- Practices, as well as games, should be an enjoyable, challenging learning experience for all participants.
- Youth coaches and parents will accept the proposition that youth games are for the children and not for the glorification of adults.
- Adults in coaching and leadership positions will lead by example, promoting and demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship.
The Parks and Recreation Department recognizes that emphasis on winning/player performance intensifies as youth programs progress into travel/competitive teams. Guidelines for these travel/competitive teams shall be created by the Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction with the respective coaches for each program.
