Teach Youth Athletes Good Sportsmanship

There’s nothing like the elated feeling your children get after winning a game they’ve practiced for day and night. But that good feeling can quickly dissipate when faced with bad sportsmanship. Youth sports are a great opportunity for kids to build self-esteem and learn the essentials of playing a game. But it’s also an opportunity for parents and coaches to teach the importance of good sportsmanship. While parents cheer for their kids on the sidelines, it’s also imperative for them to be positive role models and strong examples of what it means to be a good sport. Our kids look to their role models, and when adults and athletes have a win-at-all-cost mentality, it can ruin the game and bring out the worst in everyone. Play with integrity. One of the most essential lessons a child can learn from sports is to follow the rules. Make sure your team understands the rules and doesn’t break them, even if they have the opportunity to get away with it. Respect the officials. It’s important to teach not only our young athletes but also our parents and coaches to respect the referees and officials. Our kids have a watchful eye and take notice when parents and coaches are disrespectful. Be a good sport. This means doing what we can to lift our teammates up and help them reach their potential. Being a good teammate means also being a good person on and off the field regardless of the outcome. Maintain self-control. Keep your cool, have a positive attitude, and don’t overreact during practice or games. Be encouraging of other players. Let the coaches coach. Avoid chiming in with your coaching advice for the team, or other parents. Let those in charge run the plays. To bring about the above behaviors, and many others that constitute good sportsmanship, Positive Coaching Alliance encourages players and parent and coaches to “Honor the Game.” And to remember components of this code, PCA uses the acronym ROOTS, which stands for Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates and Self. Following these tips, along with reminding your children you’re proud of them no matter what, will help instill the values of sportsmanship and collectively ensure that our kids have the best sports experience possible.

Skiing has been good so far this season and with a storm on the way this week it should be even better by the weekend.

Athlete Conduct

 

We anticipate that all athletes attending the U18 USSA Finals will be well behaved. Gore Mt. Ski Center is a wonderful host to ski racing and works hard to produce ideal race trail conditions for all of our races. We ask that all athletes, coaches, and parents treat the Gore Mt. personnel and the skiing public politely on the hill and in the lodge.

 

Our ski patrol requires the use of the safety bar on the chair lifts and requests that racers control their speed on open public trails.  Absolutely no tucking anywhere off the race trail. The patrol is very strict.

 

Accommodations

North Creek has motels and guest houses minutes from the mountain.  There are a number of places within 20 or 30 minutes of Gore Mt. spread throughout the Town of Johnsburg in the various hamlets.  Nearby Chestertown, Indian Lake and Warrensburg also provide opportunities and are each about 15 miles away.  Further are Lake George, Queensbury, and Glens Falls all about 40-45 minutes away (36 miles). Look on the Goremountain.com website there is a link to area lodging.

 

Tuning facilities are available in the NYSEF training center,

Please clean the tune room when finished.

 

 

Congratulations to all invited to the U18 USSA Finals race series!

Any questions please feel free to call our training center during the hours of 8-4:30PM.
