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.
