1. Positive - We speak and act in only positive ways.
2. Collaborative - We are team players who work well together.
3. Sportsmanship - We never cheer against another team. We speak no ill of another team (players, coaches, or parents), referee, etc.
4. Commitment to Each Other & Our Sport - We train and compete with all we have, every time, because we expect the same from our teammates.
5. Have Fun - Exhausted? Frustrated? Angry? Sad? Remember - water polo is an awesome sport and you’re on Dynamo. How much more fun can you hope to have?!?!
