I dole out praise for good behavior all the time. If an opposing coach is using a lot of positive speech to build up his team, I let him know how awesome it is after the game. If a referee is spending a little time giving advice to kids on either team how to improve their play or understand the rules, I make sure they know that it was noticed and appreciated.

Kids' sports are an arena where positive behavior can enhance everyone's experience, and negative behavior can ruin it. So let's pat each other on the back when someone does good deeds. The goal for the endeavor is not to beat the other team; it's to raise the next generation of good people.
