SPORTSMANSHIP

Taunting, trash talk and intimidating behavior have NO place in youth sports.

Your admission is to watch the performance of highly impressionable kids – not a license to abuse coaches, officials, players and other spectators.

You want others to treat you the way you want to be treated. How many of us want to be treated with respect?

Be a positive role model for your child.

People don’t always remember the final score, but they always remember the fan on the touchline who made a fool of him or herself.

Coaches and officials are also teachers. Why would you harass them in their classroom?

A national survey indicates that kids play sports to have fun, not to be number one!

It’s how you play the game that counts.

Fair play and respect should be emphasized.
