CYC Sports

Believe it or not, Baseball/Softball in St. Louis is not that far away.  If you are a CYC Baseball coach we suggest you consider attending the FREE Baseball Clinic offered by St. Louis University High School Coach Steve Nicollerat in conjunction with the St. Louis Sports Commission.  This clinic is to help volunteer youth baseball and softball coaches prepare for a successful season.  This is the place for youth coaches to learn what and how to teach the sports of baseball and softball.  The clinic is:

Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 8:30am to 11:30am at SLUH in the Dannis Field House 

To get more information and register go to www.stlsportsmanship.org or call 314 345-5130.

Officials can display Random Acts of Sportsmanship (RAS) too!  That was the case the first week of the basketball season when Sacred Heart played at St. Bridget.  The parents of the 3rd grade girls from Sacred Heart recognized the great sportsmanship displayed by the officials, Linda Watson and Josh Spuhls.  This was the first basketball game for most of the girls on the court.  The officials took time to explain their calls and help the girls better understand the game.  Basketball can be confusing and intimidating when you first start playing, but Linda and Josh insured these girls had a positive introduction to the game. 

We usually think of players being good sports to their opponents, but it can be with teammates too.  Our Lady of Guadalupe 8th grade player, Marnae Brown demonstrated that at her game on Saturday, January 14th.  Teammate Chyna Moore had broken her leg in practice, but came in her wheelchair to cheer her teammates on.  Way to go Chyna.  After halftime, as the team went into their huddle for last minute instructions, Marnae asked her team to move the huddle over to where Chyna was sitting in her wheelchair, so she could be included.  Congrats to Marnae, Chyna and all the players on the Our Lady of Guadalupe 8th grade basketball team for showing great sportsmanship to your teammates.

We invite all CYC players, coaches, officials and all fans to e-mail Buzz detailing any and all the Random Acts of Sportsmanship (RAS) you see, to buzzswanston@archstl.org .   See a Good Sport and Be a Good Sport!
