ATHLETICS & THE FHSAA

Athletic Expectations

It is the duty of all student-athletes, coaches, officials, performers, and spectators concerned with interscholastic athletics to:

Remember that a contest or performance is just that, not a matter of life or death. Emphasize the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct and fair play. Stress the values derived from playing and participating fairly.

Establish a cordial relationship between visitor and host. Respect the integrity and judgment of the officials. Achieve a thorough understanding and acceptance of the rules of the game and the standards of eligibility.

Encourage leadership, use of initiative, and good judgment by all students on the team, troupe, band, or ensemble.

Recognize that the purpose of co-curricular is to promote the physical, mental, moral, social and emotional well-being of the individual student.

Participation in all co-curricular activities is by mutual consent and no initiation is required or allowed.

Spectator Expectations

All spectators at co-curricular contests involving Sagemont Prep students are expected to: Demonstrate sportsmanship. Respect the property of the school and the authority of school officials. Show respect and courtesy to opposing student-athletes, coaching staffs and fans. Respect the integrity and judgment of the officials. Do not applaud opponent error or penalty. Do not boo, jeer or distract the participants. Respect student participants’ spaces versus spectator spaces.
