Sportsmanship Card

The explicit purpose of the CVYBA Basketball Program is to promote, develop and teach both its adult volunteers and player participants the principles of GOOD CHARACTER, PHYSICAL HEALTH, TEAMWORK, SPORTSMANSHIP, DISCIPLINE and FAIR PLAY. It is the responsibility of each adult volunteer and parent in the program to discourage displays of poor sportsmanship by players, the adult volunteers and spectators.

Examples of poor sportsmanship that CVYBA will not tolerate are:

1. Derogatory remarks of any nature by or about any player, coach or referee.
2. Booing or "riding" any player, coach, or referee.
3. Displays of anger by a player or coach, such as throwing or kicking the ball in anger.

WINNING THE GAME IS ALWAYS SECONDARY TO GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
