ihsaa sportsmanship philosophy

The ideals of sportsmanship permeate virtually every aspect of our culture, and the ethics of fair play may be witnessed in all facets of life.  However, the origins of sportsmanship have been firmly established in sports as a training ground for good citizenship and high behavioral standards.


BENCH BAD BEHAVIOR

"Bench Bad Behavior" is a nationwide sportsmanship campaign from the NFHS.  Schools can download a FREE toolkit which features resources for member schools,  Proactively address bad behavior at your HS events.
