SPECTATOR BEHAVIOR AT SPORTS EVENTS

Recently, there was an event at a middle school basketball game here in Vermont where spectators at the event got into an argument in the stands that escalated into a physical brawl that spilled out onto the court.  

Sadly, there have been several other incidents over the last few years that have tarnished the true spirit of education and competition in middle and high school athletics in Vermont.  

Shelburne Community School is working closely with the Vermont Principal's Association (VPA) to ensure educational, safe, and productive extracurricular activities are accessible to all students.  

Please read this statement from the Vermont Principals' Association and reach out if you have any questions or concerns.  

GENERAL Sports Announcement:

Please read the above Spectator Behavior message and the attached statement from the VPA.  

In addition, take a few moments to watch this video, and share with everyone you know.  

Let's have a great year full of fun and competitive athletics!  Go Cats!
