    GHSA “Items of Interest” November 2010 Don’t Allow Healthy ‘Rivalries’ to Become Problems In recent days, I have seen articles in the media describing high school events as being “healthy rivalries” or “fierce rivalries.” During our discussions about reclassi- fication I have heard administrators talking about the need to have long-term “ri- vals” in the region to enhance gate receipts. And, regrettably, I handle problem issues that arise when people take their rivalries to an extreme. So I understand the value of rivalries when they are handled properly. From the perspective of the GHSA, it is important that rivalries in every sport bring out the best in people and not the worst. Administrators and coaches have very important responsibilities in setting the tone on campus about the need for good sporting behavior at all contests, but especially in contests with rivals. The positive messages from educators will hopefully have a positive effect on the behavior of students – both competitors and spectators. It is also important that these positive messages get presented to Boosters Clubs and to the community. Several recent problems that have come to the GHSA office have their roots among people in the community who want to stir up trouble. Educators may not be able to have direct control over the people in the community, but the positive message needs to be directed toward those people in hopes that some people will understand the role of school-based athletics. Most member schools invest a lot of time and effort into managing the contests as they occur.

  • “Items of Interest”
    GHSA “Items of Interest” February 2013 Time to Review What Sportsmanship Means in the GHSA A number of complaints about the types of cheers that basketball cheerleaders have been leading have been sent to the GHSA office. The complaints allege that the bothersome cheers have directed taunting comments to the opposing players, cheer- leaders, and fans. There have also been concerns about personal comments yelled at players at different times during the games – especially when free throws are being shot. The GHSA Sportsmanship Statement clearly applies to all people who are in atten- dance at a GHSA competition – players, coaches, cheerleaders, and spectators. The enforcement of the positive principles of sportsmanship at a GHSA event falls to coaches and administrators of the school that is violating those principles. Unfortunately, some of the responses from those people indicate that they do not see anything wrong with that behavior. Therefore, I want to review thoughts that have appeared in GHSA publications many times in the past. DEFINITION OF SPORTSMANSHIP: the practice of playing fair; of taking loss or defeat without complaint, or victory without gloating; treating opponents with fairness, generosity, courtesy, etc. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: 1. Sportsmanship is a concrete measure of your understanding of and commitment to fair play, ethical behavior, and integrity. 2. Sportsmanship involves encouraging “your team” without ridiculing your opponents. 3. Sportsmanship is the “golden rule” of athletics – treating others as you wish to be treated. 4. Sportsmanship is all about respect – respect for others and for oneself. 5. Sportsmanship involves the principles of good citizenship in the arena of athletics.
