CALIFORNIA INTERSCHOLASTIC FEDERATION SOUTHERN SECTION (INCORPORATED) CONSTITUTION BY-LAWS and RULINGS Interscholastic athletic programs are an integral part of the educational picture. The concept of sportsmanship must be taught, modeled, expected and reinforced in the CIF Southern Section. We feel there is an urgency to restore balance and proper perspective to educational athletics. Good sportsmanship implies the willingness to abide by the rules, accept the decisions of officials and play the game fairly. Coaches and athletes must maintain self-control and demonstrate respect for the game and its rules. Good sportsmanship the responsibility of everyone involved in the game. Represent your community in a manner that will bring credit to your school and team. 2007-2008 Printed August 2007 OFFICE ADDRESS/PHONE 10932 Pine Street Los Alamitos, CA 90720 (562) 493-9500 FAX: (562) 493-6266 Web Site: www.cifss.org <>Denotes change in that rule1 #Denotes number changes only TABLE OF CONTENTS Cardinal Athletic Principles .................................................................................................
