Focus on performance and effort instead of results. Ask “How did you play?” or “Did you have fun?”
Help your child to understand that respect for the rules, opponents and officials is part of playing and enjoying the game.

Slam Jam Rewards

Each week children earn stickers for their reward cards. They are ideal for children of all standards and children go through the cards at their own pace. Stickers can be collected for attendance, skills and teamwork.

The reward cards are a great way of retaining players in the game and help children to learn in stages.
