Sportsmanship Code

SPORTSMANSHIP CODE

Students and parents should set a good example in the matter of sportsmanship. Cheers should be of a positive nature and only directed towards DLS athletes. At no point should negative cheers be directed at an opponent, opposing coach, or an official. Players and spectators should model their sportsmanship to a high standard.

To this end they should:

1. Remember that a student or parent spectator represents the school in the same manner as does the participating athlete; 2. Recognize that the good name of the school is the primary concern; 3. Appreciate an exhibition of fine play or good sportsmanship by any player or team; 4. Accept the decision of the officials; 5. Recognize that abusive remarks and language are unacceptable; 6. Be considerate of any injured player on either team; 7. Respect the opponent’s campus; 8. Never belittle an opponent; 9. Never direct abusive remarks at individual players or officials during a contest; 10. Never “boo” a penalty; 11. Refrain from using noisemakers or musical instruments of any kind not associated with an organized and moderated pep band;

Students are bound by all rules and regulations of other schools when teams compete at a site other than De La Salle.

All East Bay Athletic League, North Coast Section, and California Interscholastic Federation school rules and regulations concerning competition and deportment are in effect for all games (league and practice; home or away).

Students and fans are required to respect and follow the directives of any De La Salle faculty, staff, coach, or volunteer at games.
