| Description :
|
CHARACTER COUNTS! is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian character-education framework that teaches the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. The CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition includes thousands of schools, communities and nonprofit organizations.
Character Counts offers The Ultimate Sportsmanship Tool Kit (youth sports edition). There is also a version for interscholastic prorgrams. The Tool Kit is an all-in-one resource provides materials to help you achieve sportsmanship and character-building goals through competition, not despite it. Divided into three sections ("Setting Up Your Program," "The Preseason" and "During and After the Season"), the Kit begins by setting the tone through codes of conduct and mission statements and ends with evaluation tools and ideas for rewarding players and teacher-coaches. Also included: sports anecdotes and stories, an appendix full of sportsmanship quotes, the Gold Medal Standards for Youth Sports, the Game Plan for Amateur Basketball, the Arizona Sports Summit Accord, and more.
Teacher-coaches bear responsibility for achieving victory on the playing field and for promoting the integrity of the game and its players. The Ultimate Sportsmanship Tool Kit will help you get there. |
