Sportsmanship and Fair Play (Spectator Code of Conduct)

  • Visiting team members, students and adult spectators are guests, to be afforded all the courtesy and consideration that a friendly, well-mannered and well-intentioned host would normally give.

  • The officials are not the bad guys.  They are human like the rest of us.  They have been assigned to administer the rules of the sport based on their experience and integrity.  They make decisions every few seconds to the best of their ability.  Your personal feelings or loyalties to a particular athlete or team should not interfere with the spirit of fair play as the rules are applied by the officials

  • Spectators, student-athletes and coaches must recognize that their conduct plays an important role in establishing the reputation of their school and that their actions can relate directly to the success of their team.
