    A Role for Her to Fill

    Look over the following attributes of a good sport. Consider each, and decide how you'll address the issue of sportsmanship with your young athlete.

    A good sport:

    Is a team player. It's important for your daughter to understand that her behavior on the field and on the sidelines reflects on the entire team. It's tough to grasp the idea that your responsibility to the team is to play your best -- and that if you goof up, it's not okay to purge your emotions. Also point out to your daughter that when a player scores the most points for a win, the victory goes to the entire team and is not for individual glory.

    Abides by the rules of the game and plays fair. Consistently communicate to your child that it's important for everyone to play by the rules. No one wants a hollow victory, which comes as a result of cheating, playing dirty, or permitting an ineligible player on the field or team. Point out that when foul play occurs, everyone knows it and it doesn't feel right to coaches, parents, spectators, and the kids playing the game. Your daughter can play an important part if she gracefully holds his teams to this standard.

    Avoids arguing with coaches, referees, and teammates. Explain to your daughter that it's okay to question some referees' calls, a coach's advice, or a player's contribution. The sports scene allows for some disagreement between those involved. But go on to explain that sometimes it becomes unsportsmanlike to go overboard with that doubt -- and with any sort of belligerence. Talk with your daughter about what players should overlook, condone, or reprimand.

    Offers encouragement to teammates. Teach your daughter to be the team cheerleader (so to speak), supporting the efforts of even the weakest player, and that includes herself. Explain to your child that in order for each player to develop her abilities, each needs the chance to get out on the field and play. Essentially, teach your daughter to not be so hard on herself.

    Respects the other team's effort. Tell your daughter that no matter how the other team plays, it's never acceptable to belittle or minimize the opponent's effort. Your daughter can acquire the maturity to understand that if an opponent outperforms them, they accept it, learn from it, offer no excuses, and move on. Additionally, it's important for you to convey the idea that if his team out-performs their opponent, it's okay to enjoy the victory, but it's not okay to gloat.

    • Coaches shall put the welfare of their athletes above all else while maintaining professional relationships with them.
    • Coaches shall encourage the athlete to exhibit sportsmanship at all times.
    • Coaches shall follow ASA rules.
    • Coaches will treat players with dignity and respect at all times.
    • Coaches need to understand that they are role models for their young players. They must project a proper role model image.
    • Coach’s commitment to the player and the player’s commitment to the coach is an equal partnership.

    Commitment to Other Coaches

    • Any displeasure with a coach or umpire’s action or conduct shall be addressed through the proper channels and not through the media or through public opinion.

     

     

    Remember- this is a kids game, and they need to enjoy it to perform well. Don't dwell on negative issues after the game. Use positive coaching to talk about how we can improve for the next game, next practice.

     As one coach said "Parents will replay the game in their heads for hours. But as soon as we pass out the juice boxes, the kids forget all about it. When the game is over, kids just want to be kids."
