Basic Principles of Practice Each participating school should recognize that the elements of competition and winning, although they exist, should be controlled to the point that they do not determine the nature of the program. Participation in athletics, both as a player and as a spectator, is a component of the educational experience and should contribute positively to the knowledge, skills and emotional patterns that students possess, thereby enabling them to become better persons and citizens. The middle level school interscholastic athletic program should be concerned primarily with the welfare and protection of the students in their competition. Every safeguard should be taken which will prevent excessive participation. The schools, more than any other agency, are prepared to conduct a desirable athletic program for youngsters. Sound, intelligent leadership and enforcement of policies is the responsibility of the school principal. Every effort should be made to develop programs, which provide for students of all skill levels maximum opportunities for participation in a sports activity. A. Recommended Administrative Practices Secure written parental permission for participation in each sport. Recommend medical examinations for all participants. Employ certified personnel to conduct the program. Provide adequate facilities and equipment. 3
4 Secure financial support by the board of education for athletic programs. Admission fees to games are not recommended. (Exception championships) Employ certified officials. Use age, weight, and physical maturity as well as grade and ability to establish the place of the individual in the group so that competition is provided on as equal a basis as possible. Require proper equipment for safety. Require that all participants be adequately covered by appropriate insurance. Play games in the afternoon only. Limit publicity. Present trophies and awards on a limited and modest scale only. Do not encourage participation in jamborees, playoffs. Or tournaments. Limit trip length in order to minimize loss of school time. Use fully insured conveyance for transportation Restrict the practice sessions to appropriate time length. Schedule interscholastic competition between schools of comparable size. End all inter-school competition two full weeks before the last day of school. No Sunday games or practices. Avoid scheduling practices and games during vacation periods. Provide for necessary exception to recommended practices and guidelines at a meeting of principals. A. General Eligibility Standards for Interscholastic Athletes Any member of the student body is eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics. No student may participate in more than one sport per season. Students who attend a school out of their district may participate in the district athletic program providing the school they are attending does not have a program. Students should meet the scholastic requirements of their own school in order to participate in interscholastic athletics. Competitors should meet the requirement of good citizenship throughout the school. 4
5 Contestants playing on any middle level school team should not play with an outside team in the same sport after participating in the first interscholastic game in that season. Girls may participate on boys teams. Girls may participate on either a girls team or a boys team in the same sport, but not both, within a team period of one school year. However, a member school has discretion to exclude girls from boys teams when it can demonstrate that its overall sports program does not omit athletic opportunities for girls. Boys may not participate on girls teams. The athlete shall not have reached his/her sixteenth birthday, except that a player, who reaches his/her sixteenth birthday on or after July 1, shall be eligible to compete during the ensuing school year if he/she is otherwise eligible.

12 I. Sportsmanship High standards of courtesy, fair play and sportsmanship must prevail at all SEMSAC member school competitions. Good sportsmanship, respect for rules, respect for others, and fair play are basically the motives through which an interscholastic athletic program is justified and defended. General guideline recommendations to promote sportsmanship The principal is the final authority responsible for all athletic activity of his/her school at whatever level of competition. In recognition of this authority the following recommendations are suggested y the CIAC as a guide to school administrators with respect to the development and implementation of a sportsmanship policy. A. The person responsible for Athletic Administration: 1. Makes available to visiting schools necessary game information; including directions for reaching the game site, game time, and directions for parking. 2. Designates specific seating areas for students, cheerleaders, adults and visitors. If possible, student bodies should be separated. 3. Posts in plain site at the entrance to the field, track or gymnasium a copy of the causes for expulsion from the contest, e.g., use of alcohol, drugs, throwing objects, unruly behavior. 4. If possible assigns officials to dressing facilities separated from both teams. Provides escorts for the officials when it appears that disturbances may develop. 5. Take measures to prevent fans from getting near or on the playing area and around the players benches. After the contest prevents fans from going onto the playing area. 6. Provides adequate supervision of students and facilities, Supervisors should sit in the stands with the students. 7. Provides a first aid room for emergencies. Assures access to a telephone from the contest area. 12
13 8. Eliminates fro the gymnasium during the regular season banners, signs, noisemakers, bugles, etc., these tend to be offensive and negative in tone and cause hard feelings. 9. Does not permit all of the lights to be turned off for such things as the introduction of players or special pre game and half time show. Make sure there is sufficient lighting necessary to provide good crowd control for the spectators safety. 10. At contests where tickets are sold at the game, tickets should be sold throughout the entire game to discourage people form loitering outside the game hoping to be admitted free during the last half of the game. 11. Encourage the visiting school to follow the procedures of the host school since many areas may have special problems. 12. Insist that unruly spectators be removed from the premises. Takes legal action against those who are guilty of assault or disturbing the peace. 13
14 B. The Coach 1. The behavior of the coach must at all times be marked by dignity and self-control. HE/she should not at any time use provocative language or engage in any unsportsmanlike actions or tactics. He/she must avoid any actions or remarks, which would tend to incite the displeasure of the spectators or provoke disorderly behavior. 2. The coach will immediately discipline any player who intimidates an official, or displays unsportsmanlike behavior. 3. Deliberate attempts to humiliate an opponent by the coach will not be tolerated, e.g. running up the score. Coaches are encouraged to substitute whenever possible, especially when the outcome of the game has more or less been decided. 4. Coaches must not seek out an official during half time or at the end of a game. 5. The head coach is responsible for all bench personnel. 6. The head coach must display modesty in victory and graciousness in defeat. 7. Coaches must control their emotions by eliminating any show of outrage or discontent over an official s call. 8. No person should be coaching who does not realize that the future of middle school athletics is more important than the winning or losing of a particular game. 9. Police locker rooms at away games. 14
15 A. The Cheerleader Coach 1. Guest cheerleaders should be greeted and escorted to their accommodations by the host cheerleaders. 2.

Remain silent when an opponent is shooting a free throw. 8. Set a visible link with the other school. 9. Meet in the middle of the player area for the national anthem. B. The Athletes 1. Accept and understand the seriousness of their responsibility and the privilege of representing their school and community. 2. Learn the rule s of the game. 3. Cooperate with coaches. 4.
