We wanted to share with you a great article we saw recently about sportsmanship. We thought it did a great job of outlining what sportsmanship really is and how athletes young to old can conduct themselves on the field of play.
As our campers and staff know, good sportsmanship is the main goal whenever we take to the field at Camp Cobbossee. While winning is fun, we know that our boys want to have fun and enjoy the game that they are playing. Unfortunately, we hear all to much about a lack of sportsmanship in both amateur and professional sports. With the assistance of our staff, we emphasize the true meaning of sportsmanship both on and off the field.
Cobbossee’s own, Mike Griffin, better known as G-r-i-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f…Grrrriffff, Grrrrrifff….has coached his Rensselaer Polytechnic Insititue(RPI) Men’s Basketball team to the Liberty League Tournament. The RPI Engineers were picked to finish 6th in their conference and are now headed into the weekend with a chance to capture first place. You can read more about their recent victory that got them into the playoffs by clicking on the link below:
