DR. MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE NEW ULM, MINNESOTA
WELCOME to the Grade School Basketball Tournament!
Tournament time is an exciting time. The athletes are trying to win a champion ship and the students and parents are cheering on their favorite team. Tourna ment time is also a time to practice sportsmanship. We sincerely hope that good sportsmanship will be exhibited by the players and coaches and equally good sportsmanship by both students and parents. Some of the things to remember are: Only one team can win and the players must learn to be good winners and good losers. The referees are trying their best to call a good game, you may not agree with every call they make but they are trying to be fair to each team. When you are cheering, cheer for the good things your team does and not the bad things the other team does. We hope you have a good time and enjoy the tournament.
