Howard County
Recreation and Parks (HCRP) is committed to
the growth of recreational sports within the
county from youth through adult leagues and
competitions.
With hundreds of leagues being
conducted by HCRP and local community groups,
HCRP has seen many players and adults at all
levels who emphasize positive sportsmanship.
To honor these individuals,
HCRP sponsors a county wide GOOD SPORTS
AWARD for one youth player, one youth
coach and one adult player. These awards are
presented at the annual Howard County
Celebration of Sports banquet in the
Fall.
Nominations
are accepted on an annual basis. Basic criteria
is that the individual must be participating
/ coaching in a Howard County recreational,
non-scholastic program.
Sportsmanship
focuses on respect, positive leadership, team
ethics and dedication. It's about keeping
perspective and having fun regardless of the
score.
The
quality and presentation of the submission
is very important! Include with the nomination
form a paragraph of 100 words or less with
additional information describing why the
nominee should be selected for this award.
Please make sure your nominee meets all the
criteria and requirements. (Remember, this
