Are there rules for spectator behavior?
Spectators are expected to display good sportsmanship at all times. For example, we abide by the Northern Region Sportsmanship Creed, which is designed for “indoor sports” (approved 6/9/82), but the intent is certainly applicable to all athletic events: • Our opponents and the officials are our guests. • Noisemakers are not permitted. Cheerleaders can use megaphones; pep bands are permitted to play except when ball is in play. • Help keep this a game; we are opponents, not enemies. • Spectators, cheerleaders, and coaches represent their school as do the athletes. • Approved wall signs are welcome. • Cheer loudly and freely but in a positive manner.
