Creative and Effective Sportsmanship Programs

“Do What’s Right!”

 The “Do What’s Right!” Program builds upon the IHSA’s current efforts to promote and recognize sportsmanship within our teams, schools and communities. The Program sets minimum guidelines and may be incorporated into a conference’s existing sportsmanship program.

 Over the past few years, our member schools have voiced an increased desire for greater promotion and recognition of sportsmanship. In response to this demand, the Sportsmanship Advisory committee is responsible to evaluate and improve upon the current methods of encouraging and supporting sportsmanship.
