Student–Athlete Sportsmanship Expectations

(From Virginia High School League Handbook)

The Athlete Should:

• Be courteous to visiting teams and officials.

• Play hard and to the limit of his/her ability, regardless of discouragement. The true athlete does not give up nor does he/she quarrel, cheat, bet or grandstand.

• Retain his/her composure at all times and never leave the bench or enter the playing field/court to engage in a fight.

• Be modest when successful and be gracious in defeat. A true sportsman does not offer excuses for failure.

• Maintain a high degree of physical fitness by observing team and training rules conscientiously. ∙ Demonstrates loyalty to the school by maintaining a satisfactory scholastic standing and by participating in or supporting other school activities.

• Play for the love of the game.

• Understand and observe the rules of the game and the standards of eligibility.

• Set a high standard of personal cleanliness.

• Respect the integrity and judgment of officials and accept their decisions without question.

• Respect the facilities of host schools and the trust entailed in being a guest.

The Parent Should:

• Realize that he/she represents the school just as definitely as does the member of a team and, therefore, has an obligation to be a true sportsman, encouraging through this behavior the practice of good sportsmanship by others.

• Recognize that good sportsmanship is more important than victory by approving and applauding good team play, individual skill and outstanding examples of sportsmanship and fair play exhibited by either team.

• Treat visiting teams and officials as guests, extending to them every courtesy.

• Be modest in victory and gracious in defeat.

• Respect the judgment and integrity of officials, realizing that their decisions are based upon game conditions as they observe them.
