Sportsmanship is the ability to:
- Win without gloating (don't rub it in)
- Lose without complaining (don't make excuses)
- Treat your opponent, and the officials, with respect
Sportsmanship tips:
- If you make a mistake don't pout or make excuses. Learn from it, and be ready to continue to play.
- If a teammate makes a mistake, encourage, don't criticize.
