Memphis, both urban and suburban.

these young individuals into a generation of spiritually strong, productive adults who
Love God... Love Others... Love Self

ROSTER INTEGRITY
This must be the roster from your league. No player can be added to your league roster unless
specific approval is granted by MAM.
Coach’s Agreement
I agree to set the example for my team as well as my team’s fans by maintaining proper sideline decorum (i.e. no yelling at referees, no yelling
negative comments to players, demonstrating good sportsmanship). I understand that MAM reserves the right to forfeit my team from the
tournament because of fans, players or coaches that may, in MAM’s sole determination, exhibit behavior that may be detrimental to the purposes
of the tournament. I also understand that any player or coach ejected from a game may not coach or play in the next game. I understand that
MAM will express a Christian message to all interested participants at tournament activities & games. I certify that the above information is
accurate and that the above roster represents our current league roster with no added players or MAM has specifically approved in writing any
added player.

MAM wanted to create an opportunity for virtually all teams with the exception of high school JV and varsity.
Church league teams, recreational teams, competitive teams, middle school teams, and high school 9th
grade/freshman teams can compete in their own division. This current arrangement was met with
overwhelming approval last year because more appropriate team match ups were fostered.
