In 2009 the EJBL recognized the first recipients of our Sportsmanship Award on Championship Saturday.

Check out the video of the presentation.

Now, each year Coaches select one player from each team (A League through Majors) who best demonstrated sportsmanship qualities such as leadership, self-control, courage, persistence, being graceful winners & losers and showing respect for coaches, teammates, opponents and the umpire. Here are the criteria the coaches use:

Coaches Sportsmanship Checklist:

Team Leader – demonstrates consistent support of fellow teammates.

Self-control – maintains control of emotions in challenging situations.

Courage –having the determination to do the right thing even when others don’t.

Persistence – continues to strive for self-improvement.

Graceful Winner/Loser – shows compassion and humility in winning and losing.

Shows Respect – towards the coaches, teammates, opponents and the umpire.

We are pleased to start this new tradition and hope each of the winners, as well as the many near-winners, can inspire us all to be good sports and enjoy our children's youth baseball experience.
