This is the notice from the City of Gaithersburg:
The City of Gaithersburg presents opportunities for youth to participate in sports activities in a non-competitive atmosphere. Our emphasis is on fun, participation, team building and skill development. At most of our youth programs, score is not kept during the games. Sportsmanship and respect of players, officials, coaches and parents is emphasized. Our coaches are volunteers who wish to provide such opportunities that were afforded to them in their youth. All of our coaches are trained and certified through the National Youth Sports Coaches Association.
