Good sportsmanship can be a tough practice to teach young athletes when the competition heats up and they'll do anything for a win. Encourage athletes to show good sportsmanship by practicing these steps yourself. Setting a good example for the athletes as well as the other parents can pave the way to a successful season.

Step 1 Accept the coach's decisions. Parents and athletes alike may not agree with the coach's choices to play or not play certain players, but you must not raise your voice or make a scene. Step 2 Respect all players. It is important to treat not only teammates with respect, but the opponents as well

Step 3 Win and lose gracefully. Sure, go ahead and cheer your heart out after a win, but know when to stop.
Step 4 Congratulate the winners, whether that is your own team or the opposing team.

Step 5 Encourage teammates. It's easy to get angry with yourself when you feel like you've let your team down, but a simple, "Don't sweat it" from a parent or fellow player helps ease the sting.
Step 6 Swallow your pride. If the official makes a call against you, accept it and move on with the game. Don't make a scene that could potentially get you penalized even further.

Step 1 Encourage fair play and respect. Teach children to follow the rules and to be respectful to teammates, opponents, coaches, and parents

Step 2 Shout words of encouragement such as Great play! or Nice job! Yelling negative comments or pouting from the sidelines isnt displaying good sportsmanship. If necessary, address your concerns with the coach after the practice or game.

Step 3 Focus on the effort, not the mistakes. Children need to know that we are proud of them for trying their best.

Step 4 Talk to children about professional athletes who show good sportsmanship and those who show bad sportsmanship.
Step 5 Ultimately, we foster good sportsmanship when we encourage children to just have fun and enjoy the game whether they win or lose.

1.

Teach them to learn and abide by the rules of the game.

> Knowing the rules of the game and playing by them. > responsibility to learn.

2. Teach your child to avoid arguments with coaches, officials and opponents. > One of the most common abuses of sportsmanship is when players argue verbally and/or physically assault officials and opposing team members.

3. Teach your child to share in the responsibilities of the team.

>

A key to good sportsmanship is being a positive influence on your teammates.

4. Teach your child to encourage and support less talented players.

If your child is a gifted athlete, it is especially important to teach her the value of providing extra encouragement and support to less talented players.

5. Teach your child to always play fair, with honesty and integrity.

Honesty and integrity should be the two hallmarks of any athlete. Good sportsmanship means playing honestly and fairly at all times, and never indulging in any type of cheating.
