WELCOME TO THE 2008 SEASON
www.kilittleleague.com
Kent Island Little League is one of the largest Leagues on the Island with over 650 participants and 55 teams in 2007. We are looking forward to another great Baseball and Softball season and thank all of the Volunteers and Sponsors who make it possible.
Our regular season Home games are played here on Kent Island at Love Point Park, Mowbry Park, Batts Neck Park and Matapeake Elementary School. Our Coach Pitch Girls, Minor Girls, Major Girls & Major Boys teams do get to travel to Rt. 18 Park in Centreville and Church Hill to play teams from Queen Anne's County. Our older Junior Boys and Girls travel and play various teams throughout the Eastern Shore. Opening Day will be April 19, 2008 and the regular season is over by mid June.
The objective of Kent Island Little League is to implant firmly in the children of the Community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority so that they may be well adjusted,
strong and happier children.

WORDS TO LIVE BY!!
What Is Good Sportsmanship?
Good sportsmanship is doing your best and having good behavior. It means working hard, learning, and following the rules of the game. It also means treating your teammates, your opponents, your coaches, and the officials with courtesy. When you congratulate opponents who beat you, you're practicing good sportsmanship. When you win and thank the other team for a good game, you're also being a good sport.
But it doesn't just have to do with sports. The great thing about developing good sportsmanship is that it helps you in other parts of your life, too. Sportsmanship applies to other games (no pouting if you lose at checkers!), contests (don't storm off just because you lost the spelling bee or school election), and more.
When you learn how to work well with other people on a playing field, you'll also find it easier to work well with your classmates in school, participants in other types of after-school or weekend activities, and even your brother or sister!
Putting Yourself in Someone Else's Place
Some people say that good sportsmanship is like the golden rule of sports - you treat other people like you want to be treated. Think back to games that you've lost. Did the other team hold a long and loud victory dance or make fun of the way your team played? That probably made you feel even worse than losing did.
Now think about a better way that you could handle winning. There's nothing wrong with cheering and yelling, of course, as long as the celebration doesn't go on too long. But don't forget that your opponents tried just as hard as you did. When you thank them, try to find something nice to say about a particular play that they made. It may make them feel better - and you'll probably feel pretty good about it, too.
It takes maturity to put yourself in somebody else's place or to realize that no matter how good you or your team, somebody else can come along tomorrow and beat you. Remembering that will help you stay humble even if you're in first place right now.
