Sportsmanship

The educational objectives of HS soccer include respect, integrity, sportsmanship and life skills. The WPASOA Sportsmanship award recognizes teams that best exemplify these ideals at the highest level based on the following considerations:  

• Preparation: Roster complete and ready to go; all players properly and legally equipped at all times 
• Teamwork: Players demonstrate fair play, teamwork, discipline, leadership, resilience and decision-making skills on their own, with minimal or no coach involvement
• Bench Management: All coaches, bench personnel, and substitutes remain in the team area at all times [except for subs waiting in the officials area]; Only positive comments and cheering in the team area
• Active Player Management: Coach encourages, models and expects respect for opponents, officials and teammates; and proactively remove or correct players who do not meet these expectations
