Sportsmanship Mission Statement
Good sportsmanship is the attitude and behavior that exemplifies positive support for the interscholastic programs of IHSA member schools, as well as for the individuals who participate in such programs. People involved in all facets of the interscholastic program are expected to demonstrate respect for others and display good sportsmanship.
Improving sportsmanship remains one of our highest priorities. By-laws 6.011 and 6.012 are a part of the continuing efforts of IHSA member schools to improve sportsmanship.
