Now, now, your ugly is showing.
There are a few main qualities that contribute to sportsmanlike behavior:
1. Be supportive. If you’re losing, it’s best not to take your disappointment out on other people;
2. Have a positive attitude. Having a negative attitude can bring everyone down;
3. Be respectful. Whether you win or lose, it’s essential to show respect to others. …
4. Be willing to learn. …
5. Practice self-control. …
its a great day for Ridgewood baseball and softball
