"Tips For Little League Parents"
Playing Little League is about Learning Sportsmanship
Win or Lose, it is all about learning
to be a good sport.
Ice Cream!!! No one likes to lose, but the nature of a team sport is that one team will always lose. Teach your child that he/she
didn't lose, the team lost. And they lost to a team that just happened to play better that day. There is always next time, and the important thing is to learn from the defeats. Its okay to analyze why someone lost, and how
they can do better next time. It's never okay to place blame!
Respect the rules! This is what the kids should be learning. If you don't agree with an umpires call, keep it to yourself. If there is a team rule that bothers you, well, its their team...not yours. If you think there is a serious problem, take it up with the coach or a League official on your own time, not your child's'. Rule of thumb: during practice or games, don't speak unless spoken to (except, of course, to cheer on ALL the kids).
