Spectators Code of Conduct

LIMSSA is committed to ensuring that all student-athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers involved

in LIMSSA activities have the opportunity to participate in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Spectators are encouraged and welcomed to attend Middle School Sporting activities, and as guests of

the host school, will come within the authority of the host school. Spectators are expected to conduct

themselves in a manner which supports the values of LIMSSA, and encourages the development of all

student-athletes. 

Spectators must:

• 1. Treat everyone with respect

     • cheer in a positive manner for all competitors

     • respect the decision of officials without dispute

     • not interfere with the play or competition

     • be courteous and respectful to other spectators, all competitors, coaches, event organizer and officials.

  2. Exercise self-control at all times

     • respect the rules and regulations of the facility

     • refrain from the use of foul or profane language and/or gestures

     • refrain from the use of physical force of any kind

     • remain in designated spectator zones at event locations

     • abstain from the use of tobacco products and alcohol while in the presence of student-athletes

  3. Never use social networking to criticize or threaten another school team, coach, player, game official or LIMSSA.

The host school has the authority and right to remove any individual who does not respect this

code of conduct or as requested by a match official. All individuals who have been removed from

a LIMSSA activity will be reported to the athletic coordinator’s office. Any individuals who have

been removed from a LIMSSA activity by the host school or an official will not be allowed to

attend any future LIMSSA activities at any school facility without the written consent of the

LIMSSA Executive.

Spectator Communication Protocol:

If a spectator has a complaint about an official, a coach or athlete, they shall communicate this

complaint directly to their school’s athletic director. The athletic director, along with the athletic

coordinator or school administrator, will address this complaint accordingly to the appropriate

personnel.
