UNDERSTAND, PRACTICE AND TEACH GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP:

In the RVCBL sportsmanship is paramount. Please set a good example for your players. Win and lose graciously and honor the rules of the game. Always speak to your players in a positive and encouraging manner. Please make sure all your players treat each other, all coaches, referees and opposing players with respect.

Remember that arguing calls with the referees is truly setting a poor example. Do not argue questionable calls. Arguing with the officials does not keep the focus positive.

Make sure that your team is aware of your expectations regarding sportsmanship.

And once again, don’t forget to have fun. Both practice and games are an opportunity to help your student athletes learn new skills, make new friends and develop the proper attitudes that can help them all through life.
