"TOP 10" LIST
WHY SPORTSMANSHIP IS IMPORTANT

1. Because taunting, trash talk and intimidating behavior have no place in youth sports.

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

3. You want others to treat you the way you want to be treated - any how many of us want to be treated with disrespect?

4. We need more positive role models for our children.

5. People don't always remember the final score - but they always remember the fan on the touchline who made a fool out of him or herself.

6. Because coaches and officials are also teachers. Why would you harass them in the classroom?

7. A national survey indicates kids play sports to have fun, not to be # 1!

8. It's how you play the game that counts.

9. It's simply the right thing to do.

10. Because sportsmanship begins with YOU!!!
