Programs

​Christian Leagues/Other Religious Leagues - These leagues stress religious values, and that leads them to sportsmanship (please note that they don't all succeed, though, as there are incidences of unsportsmanlike conduct in religious leagues).  For an example of religious values imbuing a league with sportsmanlike values see Prayer, Sportsmanship Rule Christian Gameby Tim Davis, The Sedalia Democrat, January 28, 2007 (Sedalia, MO).
 
The National Capital Soccer League in Virginia is an age group league that requires signed conduct agreements, specifies conduct requirements, requires coaches and participants to be trained by the Positive Coaching Alliance, and provides a comprehensive disciplinary evaluation of any incident of poor sportsmanship no matter how small.  Click here for the National Capital Soccer League's Rules and Discipline page.
 
Sports Done Right is The University of Maine's comprehensive sportsmanship report that defines what a healthy sports community should look like.
 
The STAR Sportsmanship program is a part of Learning Through Sports, Inc.'s behavioral skills educational programs.  The STAR program uses innovative video game technology.  STAR also includes an excellent sportsmanship blog that rivals the bad acts section of this site.
