WHAT IS GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP?
Killeen Recreation Services regards bad sportsmanship as unnecessary and completely intolerable.
Good sportsmanship is when people who are playing or watching a sport treat each other with respect. This includes players, parents, coaches, and officials.
WHAT'S A PARENT'S ROLE IN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP?
Kids learn how to be a good sport from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. As soon as your child starts competing in sports, it's important to be a good role model. Any teams your child plays on should have coaches that encourage good sportsmanship.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
All games are in the hands of the Killeen Recreation Services staff and every player, coach, and spectator is required to respect their authority. Unsportsmanlike conduct such as profane language, indulgence of alcoholic beverages before or during a game, fighting, etc. will not be tolerated. Any unsportsmanlike conduct by players, coaches, and/or spectators may result in the removal of the individual from the facility and/or league. Violations of the rule by a parent may result in the removal of his/her child from the team for the remainder of the season.
