Note: A school may take any or all of these actions during or after an interscholastic contest.
Rationale: NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Committee believes that the time has come to hold our spectators to the same expectations that our coaches and students are held to during an interscholastic contest. If our spectators cannot meet these expectations, then just like our coaches and student athletes, they will face a similar consequence to their behaviors and comments. NYSPHSAA schools have a requirement to address these types of behaviors as members of our association.
- First warning - Directing the spectator or group of spectators to refrain from any negative comments or actions.
- Second warning - A personal discussion with the spectators or group of spectators on the above NYSPHSAA expectations and reminding the spectators or group of spectators of the next step, removal of the game or event, will be utilized if the behavior continues.
- Removal from the contest - The spectator or group of spectators will be directed to leave the facility for the remainder of the game or event.
Spectators or a group of spectators that refuse to leave the game or event, play will be stopped until they vacate the premises. Penalty for being removed from a game or event :
Any spectator removed from a game or event will have a minimum penalty of completing the NFHS Parent Credential course or a one-game suspension before they are allowed to attend any interscholastic event. Once the course is completed, the spectator will provide a certificate of completion to the athletic department office. Schools are required to communicate with the offending spectator on the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Spectator Expectations.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our athletic programs. We look forward to seeing our community members at the game!
Go Falcons!
Thank you,
