New Competition with Civility Program for 4 REAL Sports
and USSSA

 

Dear Parents, Coaches, Players and Fans,

 

4 REAL Sports & USSSA have made a concerted effort to promote sportsmanship at our basketball tournaments to keep the focus on the kids playing and maintaining the integrity of the game by trying to remind adults it’s about the kids, not us. We have found that the majority of issues we have at events have little to do with the players, but more with adults, either coaches or parents. I’ve even had players apologize for the adult’s unsportsmanlike behavior.

 

We try to emphasize Competition with Civility – its basic premise is to treat others like you want to be treated....

New Competition with Civility Program
for 4 REAL Sports and USSSA


Continued from top of page

 

....no matter the circumstances. I know it’s difficult in the heat of a game – you want the best for your kids, you want them to win, you can see when a referee is not all into the game or making questionable calls; I know, I see it at my son’s games as well.

 

Though we have tried various things over the years in our tournaments to emphasize the sportsmanship message,  it seems there are some still not getting it.

 

Thus, 4 REAL Sports is reaching out to parents, coaches and fans of the game to collaborate on improving the environment of youth basketball at our tournaments. We can’t help what happens at other events, but we are committed to trying to make a positive change and impact in our events. If this means we have to devise a list of teams that are not welcome back because of a coach, parent or fan behavior we will do that across the board with USSSA tournaments in the metro area. If it means having smaller tournaments, we will.  However, in order to bring real change, we need your help! 

  

We will begin immediately by implementing a NEW Competition with Civility program with our very next tournament. We will now require:

  • Each coach participating in the tournament to sign a Competition with Civility contract which states that they agree to abide by our sportsmanship guidelines during the tournament and that failure to abide by those guidelines will result in their being told to immediately vacate the premises, with the understanding that no refunds will be provided.
     

  • Each team to provide one volunteer to be the Competition with Civility “Ambassador” at ALL of the teams’ games. That person will be designated to monitor the behavior of their fans, coach and players. If they see behavior that is disruptive, unsportsmanlike and disrespectful, they will address it with that person and remind them that that type of behavior is not and will not be tolerated. And, that if it continues, they will be told to leave premises.
     

  • Furthermore, team volunteer ambassadors will receive a Competition with Civility t-shirt to wear during the tournament that they can be easily and immediately identified.  Printed on the t-shirt will be the words: Be a 4 REAL Sport, kids are watching! The ambassadors will also receive a free admission pass to the tournament.

Our goal is simple: for everyone to enjoy good competition watching children play basketball without feeling uncomfortable threatened or angered by behavior that would not be tolerated in any other social setting. 

 

Please join us in this effort to restore the fun, and integrity of youth sports for the sake of the kids. They are watching us, and the impact goes well beyond the court.
