THINGS TO
TEACH YOUR PLAYERS
The Rules of the Game
Sportsmanship
Respect
Proper Mechanics and Fundamentals
To have Class
To have Fun
Winning is not everything
How to Lose
Teamwork
If you can go
over all of these main points then your team should be competitive. Remember
that LCRD judges success not by the win and loss record, but by how many of your players on your team return to play another
season. We want children to enjoy their recreational experience and want to come
back and play some more.
