Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are proud of the effort and sportsmanship our student-athletes have shown this postseason. However, we must address an ongoing concern regarding fan behavior at recent conference events.

Unfortunately, inappropriate conduct from adults in the stands has put our conference in a difficult position. If this behavior continues, we could lose the opportunity to have future district tournaments at Thunder Ridge High School. More importantly, it negatively impacts the experience of the students we are there to support.

We are asking for your immediate partnership in ensuring that all spectators:

• Demonstrate respect for players, coaches, officials, and other fans

• Refrain from negative comments, taunting, or confrontational behavior

• Model the sportsmanship we expect from our students

These expectations apply to all upcoming events. Continued issues may result in removal from events or additional restrictions.

Our students deserve a positive, supportive environment. Thank you for helping us uphold that standard.

Sincerely,

Firth School District
