Please everyone answer the statement below yes or no. Let’s be honest. We are trying to set a good example.


In no instance shall alcohol be consumed or tobacco products be used in the presence of an athlete.

Answer YES if you had alcohol or tobacco in the presence of an athlete.
Answer NO if you never had alcohol or tobacco in the presence of an athlete.

If you answered YES to this statement was it more than 2 times?
If you answered YES to this statement was it more than 3 times?

It does not state whether or not the athlete is your own child. It doesn’t even say how old the athlete is – it could have been in college.


Enough said.

But to answer your questions. no, no, no, no, no, no, I try to sit on first row when possible, or sit or kneel on edge of mat when a competitor is coming up, and no.

This is in the rules:

In no instance shall alcohol be consumed or tobacco products be used in the presence of an athlete.


What happens when a coach, club director, teacher, anyone affiliated with the club has a beer or a cigar - at a wedding reception at a city civic center and or public school, funeral, church picnic, old shawnee days, Lenexa BBQ, State Fair, and they are in the presence of one of their athletes and/or children - is that in violation of the rules. It would be IMO. Have you and/or anyone affiliated with your club ever done any of these?
