The Utah Salt Lake City Area sports committee newsletter for December includes a suggestion for stake leaders to hold sportsmanship firesides.

"The most-often expressed concern of stake presidents and bishops about church sports is poor sportsmanship, and the ensuing hurt feelings and loss of the Spirit that follows," the newsletter says.

"Some stakes have positively influenced the attitudes of their members by sponsoring a fireside prior to the start of a particular sports season, where the stake president presides and sets the tone for what he expects from stake members who participate."

The newsletter then lists a half-dozen suggested topics for Mormon sportsmanship firesides.
