I found another article on some common youth sports topics. Sportsmanship, coaching, sports rage, lessons from sports, constructive criticism, a sportsmanship checklist and how to go about keeping our kids active are all covered in this article.
The article also references a book titled The Total Sports Experience for Kids: A Parent's Guide for Success in Youth Sports
where the author of the book points out that the greatest value of youth sports is its ability to build character.
