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:

1. Provide a positive and supportive environment

2. Support your team and athletes

3. Focus on the successes of our athletes rather than criticizing the opposing team

4. Signs should be positive in nature

5. No noisemakers (including portable speakers)

6. Refrain from the use of profane, racist, sexist, or other derogatory language

7. Respect ALL officials, players, coaches, and other staff involved with the event

8. Do not verbally or physically harass players, coaches, or officials

9. Respect officials’ decisions 

10. Do not criticize ANY athlete for making a mistake

11. Promote and maintain a safe facility by staying in the designated spectator areas and contacting school personnel if issues arise

12. Do not enter the playing area before, during, or after the game

13. Refrain from violent threats or actions towards others
