  1. Coaches Promote Sportsmanship 1. Promote Integrity Most people have experienced the discomfort that comes with competing against someone who sacrifices integrity in the name of victory. When it comes to young athletes, promoting integrity should remain at the forefront of every athletic competition. Therefore, a coach should encourage a team to always play within the rules. Never encourage athletes to perform morally or legally questionable actions during gameplay. Set a positive example for athletes by preserving integrity as the highest priority. By setting a positive example, athletes will learn to respect the game instead of trying to win by sacrificing morals. 2. Minimize Selfish Actions A coach should work to minimize braggadocios behavior. Do not allow athletes to get away with taunting or showboating for big plays.  3. Respect Referees Referees officiate the game Coaches coach the game Players play the game 4. Keep It In Perspective Soccer is just a game Coaches are role models for the children they coach Teaching a team the importance of integrity, teamwork and good sportsmanship are life lessons on and off the field
