| Sportsmanship
Statement Participation, sportsmanship, teamwork, player development and positive support are cornerstones of our mission and philosophy. How do these words translate into practical actions on the field, diamond or court? Here are some basic guidelines for coaches, parents and players. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Coaches | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ·
Create a positive atmosphere. Never use or allow derogatory language. · Comment on what a player is doing well rather than what they are not. Negative reinforcement has no place in recreational sports for elementary school students. · Be in charge. Set the ground rules for team conduct with players and parents. Do not let players choose teams for scrimmages to avoid creating animosity. · Be fair. Give all players equal attention and playing time during practices and games. · Spend some practice time talking about fair play, sportsmanship and teamwork. · Teach the difference between hard play, fouls and unfair play. · Set the tone. Shake hands with the opposing coach and referees before and after each game. · Make sure your team lines up after each game for the "good game" handshake. And, monitor what your team says. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Parents | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ·
Never use derogatory language toward players, referees or coaches. · Use positive reinforcement and support for players and coaches. · Support and encourage players from the sidelines, but please no parental coaching. · Spend some home time talking about fair play, sportsmanship and teamwork. · Respect the efforts of coaches and expect that your children will do the same. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Players | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ·
Make only positive comments to your teammates. · Respect your team, your opponent and the game officials. · Always shake hands with opposing players after the game. · Lend a hand in helping fellow players get up. · Never trash talk or speak poorly to or about an opponent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Athletics
Field (Kilgour off Herschel) Cincinnati Public Schools owns the Kilgour Athletics field (a.k.a. the soccer field), which is open to Kilgour students for recess and school activities, as well as Kilgour sports teams and neighbors for practices and play. Kilgour Sports Boosters helps maintain this field and schedules soccer practices. CPS is responsible for grass cutting and trash removal. Additional maintenance services are funded and provided by the Kilgour Sports Boosters, the Kilgour PTA and Cincinnati East SAY soccer. Cincinnati East SAY soccer league has also used Kilgour's athletics field for Passers games on weekends. This field is not open to teams other than Kilgour for soccer practice due to the heavy wear it already receives. The Kilgour Athletics field will be closed once construction begins for school renovations. Kilgour Sports Boosters is examining alternative practice sites in the area, and developing a more comprehensive field use and maintenance plans in advance of the schools return when renovations are complete. Please contact Steve Upson at 871-8208 if you would like to help with this project. Current Gymnasium (Kilgour at Hyde Park) Kilgour Sports Boosters does not manage this facility. Contact the school office for official facilities reservations forms. Basketball practice facilities are a critical need. Please contact Jeff Ayers or Joe Perry (see board list) if you have information on possible practice facilities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
