Code of Conduct for Spectators and Parents

Both spectators and participants are important to the games and are encouraged to conform to accepted standards of good behavior and sportsmanship.

Spectators and participants should at all times respect officials, visiting coaches, players, and cheerleaders as guests in the community and extend all courtesies to them.

Spectators are encouraged to cheer for their team, not against the opponent.

Booing, whistling, stamping of the feet, and disrespectful remarks are to be avoided.  During a free throw in basketball, all courtesies should be extended.

Under no circumstances will harassment of opponents or officials be tolerated.  School policies regarding verbal, sexual, and racial harassment are in place and will be adhered to by all participants and spectators.

Spectators will be asked to leave the premises if they violate the code of good sportsmanship by ringing bells, sounding horns, or using other noisemakers at indoor contests during play.

Pep bands or school bands, under the supervision of school personnel, may play during timeouts, between periods, or at half time. Bands must coordinate their play so as not to interfere with a cheerleading squad on the floor or field.  

Throwing of debris, confetti, or other objects from the stands is prohibited.  Offending individuals will be asked to leave the premises.

Enjoy the games!  Be Courteous and respectful and display exemplary qualities of good sportsmanship!
