Sportsmanship

  • Congratulations to all student-athletes and coaches for being disqualification free and earning a Sportsmanship award from the NJSIAA and NJIC.

    Sportsmanship from Three Basic Angles:

    For the Coaches:

    1. Make sportsmanship your priority.
    2. Keep winning in perspective.
    3. Fun should be a part of the game.

    For the Parents:

    1. Cheer for your child, but stay in control; do not direct any comments to any players, officials, coaches or other spectators.
    2. Cool off before confronting a coach.
    3. Get to know the coach.

    For the Players:

    1. Don’t taunt your opponents.
    2. Don’t specialize in particular sports at a young age.
    3. Don’t whine, don’t complain, and don’t make excuses.
