UHSAA PHILOSOPHY: Activities are an important aspect of the total education process in Utah schools. They provide an arena for participants to grow, to excel, to understand and to value the concepts of SPORTSMANSHIP and teamwork. They are an opportunity for coaches and school staff to teach and model SPORTSMANSHIP, to build school pride, and to increase student/community involvement; which ultimately translates into improved academic performance. Activities are also an opportunity for the community to demonstrate its support for the participants and the school, and to model the concepts of SPORTSMANSHIP for our youth as respected representatives of society. SPORTSMANSHIP is good citizenship in action.
UHSAA GENERAL SPORTSMANSHIP GUIDELINES: a. Be courteous to all (participants, coaches, officials, staff and fans). b. Know the rules. Abide by and respect officials’ decisions. c. Win with character and lose with dignity. d. Display appreciation for good performance regardless of the team. e. Exercise self-control and reflect positively upon yourself, the team and the school. f. Permit only positive sportsmanlike behavior to reflect on your school or its activities.
REGION IV: In an effort to recognize and promote good sportsmanship, the Board of Managers have established the Region IV Sportsmanship Award to be presented after the fall, winter, and springs sports seasons. For each season, the selected school will receive $200. The criteria for selection are: 1. Enthusiasm at school events. 2. Good sportsmanship at events. This includes crowd, competitors, and coaches. 3. Absence of negativism (booing, derisive or profane cheers, negative posters, negative actions directed toward opposing team, coach, or officials, graffiti or destruction of school property). 4. Positive efforts by spirit groups (cheerleaders, drill team, band, student council to promote a positive environment for competition).
A certificate can be prepared for each team activity voted for by your school. You may not vote for your own school. Representatives of specific sports should vote relating to their sport. General school representatives should vote for overall sportsmanship. Total votes will be tallied to determine the winner. Each of the following should return a ballot during their respective season (see example below).
