It can also cost you technical fouls in a game situation. Cindy Dwyer and Karen Hansen, girls' flag football coaches at Sudbury Secondary School in Sudbury, Ontario, have found a great way to reduce profane language among their players. They call it the Swear Jar. The Swear Jar is a large, re-labeled pickle jar that accompanies the team manager to practices and games. If they curse during a game, it costs them 50 .
All money goes towards purchasing new team uniforms.
The coaches acknowledge that some students can't afford cash for the jar, so any swearing student can work off their debt by performing pushups. Each pushup reduces their debt by 10 . D.M. Reduce swearing and raise money for team uniforms by requiring students who use profanity to put money in a Swear Jar. Idea from Cindy Dwyer and Karen Hansen.
