Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is viewed by the National Federation of State High School Associations as a commitment to fair play, ethical behavior and integrity.  In perception and practice, sportsmanship is defined as those qualities which are characterized by generosity and genuine concern for others.

  2. Show respect for the officials.
