Soccer referees issue yellow and red cards to punish inappropriate behavior on the field. Strengths-Based Coaches take the opposite approach, issuing green cards to positively encourage children involved in youth sports.

Set of 10 SBC Green Cards ($15)

Here’s how the Green Card program works:

1. The coach purchases a pack of Green Cards
2. During a practice or game, coaches present players with Green Cards
   when they see them doing something positive
3. The coach publicly praises the player for his or her positive behavior as
   the green card is being given
4. Play continues
5. The coach collects all green cards at the end of the practice or game

Player Compliment Tool:

Immediately after a practice or game, coaches are encouraged to log their Player Compliments into a database. This serves a dual purpose:

1. A copy of the Player Compliment is sent to the player

2. Compliments are archived for research purposes
