For Parents
The
Rediscovering Youth Sportsmanship program is based on a "train-the-trainer" approach.
As a youth sports leader, you will recommend several representatives
or team parents who are already recognized as positive role
models for both parents and youngsters. These individuals
will be trained by our educators to conduct the parent training
modules at the local level. This ensures community ownership
of the program’s ideals and makes implementation of
the training sessions convenient and manageable. All educational
materials, such as videos, pledges, and behavioral guidelines
will be supplied by the Youth Sportsmanship program for each
team.
For coaches, officials, and
facility managers
Coaches and officials receive their educational component
in conjunction with each sport’s and league’s
specific certification training. For sports facility managers,
a Rediscovering Youth Sportsmanship
educator will conduct special sessions to teach
de-escalation
techniques, as well the sanctions of each league to ensure
compliance.
For league administrators
The Barnabas Health Youth Sportsmanship team will make recommendations
on physical and behavioral boundaries appropriate for each
league’s needs. For example, we will assess venues
utilized for league play and provide guidance for effective
seating for players and spectators. Working with league administrators,
we will also develop appropriate sanctions for each sport.
All youth sports leagues in New Jersey and the surrounding
region are eligible for the program.
We Support You All Season Long
Positive reinforcement and team recognition are two important
ways the Rediscovering Youth Sportsmanship program supports
leagues and helps maintain enthusiasm for good sportsmanship.
A committee from the Barnabas Health Sports Medicine Institute
will accept nominations from league members for teams who
demonstrate outstanding behavior. Recognition may include
team photos in newspaper advertisements, a team trophy, team
gifts, or a donation to the team.
Surveys and other assessment tools are provided throughout
the season to measure the success of the program for each
league.
