Some ppl need to read these hopefully they can learn a thing or two lets start at the basics this is a top 10 list for kids.

1. Play by the rules. They are there to make sure the game is fair and fun, and to help keep the players safe. So breaking them can be dangerous. And victories earned by cheating don't feel nearly as good as honest wins do.

2. Be a team player. Being part of a team means sharing the spotlight, so don't hog the ball (or the glory). A good coach should frequently point out opportunities for players to work together for the good of the team.

3. Be a good friend. If a teammate gets hurt, makes a mistake, or feels sad, offer some encouraging words. Never blame or taunt a team member for losing a game or giving up a score.

4. Own your mistakes. If you're the one who drops the ball, accept responsibility instead of trying to make excuses or shift the blame to others. A good player learns from mistakes (and a good coach makes the most of errors, turning them into teachable moments).

5. Avoid "trash talk." Saying mean things about and to your opponents is disrespectful to them, to the game you all love, and even to your own teammates.

8. Shake hands after the game. Or trade high-fives and tell the opposing team "good game." This shows the other players that you respect and appreciate them. After all, it takes two teams to play—games wouldn't be much fun without opponents.

9. Be respectful when you win. Don't brag and gloat when the losing team is around, or make fun of them for losing. It's okay to enjoy a win. You earned it! Just don't put the other team down while you're celebrating.

10. Be gracious when you lose. Not every game will go your way. Take responsibility for your losses instead of blaming them on the other team, the weather, or the officials.
