Previous  Next
Instructions
Sporting events can be a way of helping the community come together to enjoy an event in a safe and positive environment. Parents are encouraged to attend these events to support their children. Although most coaches are able to prepare their teams regarding appropriate behavior during these events, some parents are not educated on what is appropriate behavior. Parents have been seen screaming at umpires, threatening opposing parents, andat timesthreatening other players.

For this assignment, consider the following scenario. The previous year at the schools sporting events was not good; numerous incidents occurred, and police were called to more than one event. As a sport manager, you have decided to be proactive this season and have mandated that parents attend one of the many scheduled town halls on how to appropriately behave at sporting events. You have scheduled these town halls before, during, and after school so that all parents have the opportunity to work this into their schedules. You have also set up time during the schools meet-the-teacher night and open house in an effort to be proactive with this important message.

Please view the two video resources and journal article provided this week. For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation to show to parents. Please include in your presentation how student-athletes and all stakeholders should remain positive in their actions before, during, and after a sporting event and best practices for parents to exhibit positive behaviors at these events.
