An integral aspect of the West Linn Youth Basketball Association is its continued commitment to the values of sportsmanship and fair play. These vital, but often overlooked, tenants of youth sports are taken seriously by all those associated with West Linn youth basketball.
The Association strives to instill these values within the ranks of its member coaches, players and parents. Recognizing these characteristics amongst competitors is also a great lesson for all involved.
This season will feature a repeat of our "Sportsmanship Awards". At the conclusion of this season, coaches (with assistance from parents and team members) will nominate a competitor's team which best conducted itself in a respectful and sportsmanlike fashion. All players of the honored team will receive individual awards, with a letter-of-commendation presented to the coaches.
