Ten Ways to be a Good Sport
| 1. | Be polite to everyone you're playing with and against. No trash talk - which means saying mean things while you're in the middle of a game. |
| 2. | Don't show off. Just play your best. |
| 3. | Tell your opponents "good game!" whether you've won or you've lost. |
| 4. | Learn the rules of the game. |
| 5. | Listen to your teachers and follow their directions about playing. |
| 6. | Don't argue if you don't agree with a call. If you don't understand a certain call, ask your teacher to explain it to you. |
| 7. | Don't make up excuses or blame a teammate when you lose. Try to learn from what happened. |
| 8. | Play fair and don't cheat. |
| 9. | Cheer for your teammates even if the score is 1,000-1! You could inspire a big comeback! |
| 10. | Be a good team member and try your hardest. |
