Players, Parents, Coaches, Division Commissioners and Officials must work together to promote sportsmanship and safety. The success of HTRSA is NOT determined by a single game, the final standings or the end of season win/loss record.  The success is built on positive instruction, teaching proper fundamentals and maintaining sportsmanship through fun competition.  This will provide a foundation our children can take with them for the rest of their lifetime.
