Promoting Sportsmanship
Spectator’s code
Remember that student-athletes play organized sports for their own fun. They are NOT professional athletes. Please help us to promote good sportsmanship and maintain a positive school environment by doing the following:
Provide a positive and supportive environment
- Support your team and athletes
- Focus on the successes of our athletes rather than criticizing the opposing team
- Signs should be positive in nature
- No noisemakers (including portable speakers)
- Refrain from the use of profane, racist, sexist, or other derogatory language
Respect ALL officials, players, coaches, and other staff involved with the event
- Do not verbally or physically harass players, coaches, or officials
- Respect officials’ decisions
- Do not criticize ANY athlete for making a mistake
Promote and maintain a safe facility by staying in the designated spectator areas and contacting school personnel if issues arise
- Do not enter the playing area before, during, or after the game
- Refrain from violent threats or actions towards others
