SPORTS UPDATE TERM 2 – WEEK 5
The excitement with our sports continues which is wonderful to see and we are very fortunate that we are able to play sports on such a wide scale.
All rip/rippa/tackle teams had their first trainings last week – if you have registered your child and they did not participate in a training session please email Monika. We will continue with our trainings until tournament day which will be held on Thursday 29th July.
All other sporting codes continue according to their draws and training arrangements unless the weather makes it impossible – in which case games or trainings might be cancelled – please keep an eye on the websites listed further below in the newsletter.
We are very lucky to have a huge base of parents/grandparents/siblings/whānau supporters. Below are some tips about how to best encourage our teams:
SUPPORTING SPORTS TEAMS
Our kids learn from what we say and do. Parents model and teach good sportsmanship, teamwork and respect.
Before the Game:
- Be organized and on time
- Be positive and proactive
- Support all of the people who are volunteering
During the Game:
- At the game, clap and cheer when the players give 100 percent effort
- Praise sportsmanship and fair play
- Offer positive encouragement from the sideline
- The game is an opportunity for players to test out their skills, take risks and make mistakes..
- Always support the referee, players, the coach and the other team
After the Game:
- Give positive feedback “Wow, that was fun. I love to watch you play.”
- Praise their effort. “Way to go out there. You were working so hard!”
- Be consistent after each game regardless of the result
- Don’t question anything the coach, referee, opponents, or their teammates did
