• Play for the fun of it, not to please parents or coaches.

• Play by the rules.

• Always give your best effort.

• Never argue with or complain about the referee’s calls or decisions.

• Control your emotions and most of all resist the temptation to retaliate when you feel you have been fouled.  Let the referee by the judge of intent.

• Be a good sport by cheering all good plays, whether they are from your team or your opponent’s.

• Respect and treat all players the way you would like to be treated.

• Give your best cooperation to your teammates, coaches, opponents and the referee.

Sportsmanship is the moral behavior in sport.

There is more to sportsmanship than simply being nice.  To be a good sport you also have to be pro-active when situations arise.  Sportsmanship is not something you are born with and it doesn’t just happen.  It is up to you to be a leader, to make it happen on and off the field.
