Sportsmanship

Parent Sportsmanship

As a parent of an activity participant you should:

Remember your daughter or son participates in educational activities for fun.
Do your best to understand the purpose of educational activities that always puts education first.
Remember it is a privilege, not a right, for your son or daughter to participate in inter-scholastic activities.
Remember your attendance at an interscholastic activity is a privilege, not a right.
Always conduct yourself with character, and insist your daughter or son do the same, even when it is not the popular thing to do.
Treat all people (coaches/advisors, contestants, contest officials, other spectators) with respect at all times and insist your son or daughter do the same.
Support all students participating, not just your son or daughter.
Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with dignity.
Honor the spirit and intent of the rules under which your daughter or son participates.
Never demonstrate threatening or abusive behavior or use foul language.
Try your best to be a fan, not a fanatic!
