Citizenship

 

Definition:

 

Citizenship is playing in the manner of fair play, respecting yourself and your opponents and could also be giving back to the sport by volunteering and setting a good example.

 

Impact on Performance:

 

Citizenship in sport and activities occurs both on and off the field of playDisplaying good citizenship will result in games and events being played in a fair and competitive manner and respect being gained by your peers.

 

Negative citizenship can result in negative feeling being portrayed and a loss of focus on what is needed to perform well. It cold also lead to a loss of temper which could end up with a player being asked to leave the field in Rugby or being deducted points in Gymnastics.
