Sportsmanship, Ehtics & Integrity
§127-4-2 Sportsmanship.
2.1 Member schools are required to conduct
all relations with other schools in a spirit of good sportsmanship. Acts which are prima
facie evidence of failure to abide by this rule are those which are noted below and others
of similar nature which violate the accepted code of good sportsmanship.
2.2 It shall be the responsibility of the home
schools to take proper steps and precautions to insure that crowd and spectator control is
handled reasonably at all interscholastic athletic contests. In addition to the
spectators, attention must be directed to the safety, comfort and security of the coaches,
officials, and players. Their seating accommodations should protect them from spectator
interference.
2.3 It shall be the responsibility of any team,
player, coach, or attendant to remain in or a part of a contest until its normal end as
provided by the National Federation Rules of that particular sport. The exception to the
above would be provided by the same National Federation Rules of that particular sport.
The penalty for a violation by a coach, player, or team attendant will not only involve
ejection during that particular contest but shall also involve that player, coach, or team
attendant not being a part of that schools team for the next regularly scheduled
contest(s) as regulated in rule 127-4-3.8(c). The coach, athlete, or team attendant may
practice in the days prior to the contest but may not dress or participate on the day of
the contest.
2.4 It shall be the responsibility of a member
school to use every means at its disposal to impress upon its faculty, student body, team
members, coaching staff, and officials the values of sportsmanship in preparation for the
conduct and management of interscholastic contests.
2.5 It shall be the responsibility of an
administrator, spectator, athlete, cheerleader, or coach to follow those directions
provided for in the Code for Interscholastic Athletics. |
