PARTICIPATION IN
SCHOOL SPORTS teaches students some of life's most valuable
lessons... Like how to dig deep to give your best for the team...
overcome obstacles... show grace in the face of both victory and defeat.
Mohonasen athletes are
expected to work hard, respect their opponents, maintain self control
and always respect the decision of game officials. The district Code of
Conduct stresses that participation in interscholastic athletics is a
privilege -- not a right. Just as there are standards for behavior in
the classroom, there are also standards for behavior on and off the
playing field.
At the same time,
Mohonasen has a Code of Conduct for Spectators, too. And this
applies to fans of all ages. Key elements follow:
-
Spectators are an
important part of the games and are encouraged to conform to
accepted standards of good sportsmanship.
-
Spectators should
at all times respect officials, visiting coaches, players and
cheerleaders as guests in the community and extend all courtesies to
them.
-
Enthusiastic
cheering for one's own team is encouraged.
-
Booing, whistling,
stamping of feet and disrespectful remarks should be avoided.
-
There should be no
ringing of bells, sounding of horns or other noisemakers at indoor
contests during play.
-
Throwing of debris,
confetti or other objects from the stands is prohibited.
-
During a free throw
in basketball, all courtesies should be extended.
-
Spectators should
encourage each other to observe courteous behavior. Improper
behavior should be reported to school authorities.
-
Spectators will
respect and obey all school officials and supervisors at athletic
contests.
