Game Day Stars

These are the game day stars and what they mean:

  •  The blue star represents EFFORT: What does it mean to show effort? It means working hard to try your best at all times.
  • The gold star represents SPORTSMANSHIP: What does it mean to show sportsmanship? It means treating the people you play with and against the same way you want to be treated. You show respect for yourself, your teammates, opponents, the referees and the coach. You play fair and follow the rules.
  • The gray star represents OFFENSE: What should you do when you play offense? The offense is responsible for scoring goals. This means working together as a team to move the ball towards the goal.
  • The red star represents DEFENSE: What should you do when you play defense? The defense is responsible for preventing goals from being scored. This requires coordination, agility, speed and awareness along with moving together as a team.
  • The white star represents CHRISTLIKENESS: What does it mean to be Christlike? Being Christlike means to do your best to imitate Jesus in every way – through words, attitude and actions. It means loving others and following God’s Word in the Bible; choosing God over the temptations in the world around you.

At each practice we will stop to have a Mid-Practice Huddle. We will learn about God and learn a verse from the Bible together. During this time you will have a chance to earn a green star.

  • The green star represents SCRIPTURE LEARNING: What is a Scripture? Scriptures are verses from the Bible. How can I learn scripture? At different practices this season I will give you a practice card that has a Scripture verse on it. Memorize it, think about it, and talk about it with others. Come prepared to say it during practice and learn more about it!
