MARPSA

Mid-Atlantic Recreation and Parks Sports Alliance

The Mid-Atlantic Recreation and Parks Sports Alliance supports GoodSports in our Communities. Players, Coaches, Officials, Administrators and Spectators are requested to honor the GoodSports Pledge.  

Recognition of MARPSA GoodSports was created to highlight the positive sportsmanship within our communities. Each member organization should play a part in honoring GoodSports by identifying one Coach, Athlete, Official and Administrator who has demonstrated positive sportsmanship in recreation sponsored programs. 


The 2022 awards ceremony will be held on Monday, March 6, 2023 at 6:30 pm in the Blue Heron Room at Quiet Waters Park (600 Quiet Waters Park Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403). Media Release (Feb 1, 2023).
