Sportsmanship Reminders

The OSSAA Board of Directors continues to address sportsmanship in member schools.  The policy, printed below was established to address unsportsmanlike acts that are not covered by the playing rules of the game.  Examples include, but are not limited to, incidents of fans entering the playing surface to engage in acts such as fighting or confronting a game official.  Any unsportsmanlike act such as two technical fouls accessed a player or coach during a basketball contest resulting in an ejection, or any other ejection of a coach or player by a contest official, would not be categorized as “egregious” since the penalty is covered by the playing rules of the game.

 

“In education-based activities, it is our priority to ensure the safety of all involved as well as to provide a wholesome environment for students to participate.  In an effort to keep egregious acts of unsporting conduct from escalating, the Board adopted a Policy to deal with such issues should they occur.  It is our hope no school is ever put in the position to implement the penalty associated with the new policy.” explained David Jackson, Executive Director of the OSSAA.

 

OSSAA BOARD POLICY V

Any time an egregious act of unsportsmanlike conduct occurs two or more times during the same season, at the same school, in the same activity, the team and/or individual will be suspended from participation in that activity for the remainder of the season. Egregious acts of unsportsmanlike conduct will be defined as instances not within the OSSAA adopted rules of the contest.  In the event the second act of misconduct occurs when there are no contests left in the current season, the penalty will be applied to the next season in the same activity.  The OSSAA will notify the school that the team and/or individual has been placed on warning after the first offense.  Unsportsmanlike acts under this policy will include acts by coaches, players, or spectators.  

 

Sportsmanship is defined as those qualities which characterize generosity and genuine concern for others on and off the playing field. These include:

  • Play fair; take the victory without gloating or the loss or defeat without complaint.                                                         
  • Treat others as you would like to be treated.
  • Respect yourself as well as others.
  • Utilize self-control, be courteous, and accept the outcome of your actions.
  • Display proper ethical behavior by exhibiting good character and doing the right thing.
  • Show Citizenship.

Expectations of PARENTS, STUDENT-ATHLETES and OTHER FANS

  • Realize a purchased ticket provides the privilege to observe a contest, support school athletics, and display good sportsmanship. A ticket is not a license to verbally assault others or be generally obnoxious.
  • Respect decisions made by contest officials.
  • Be an exemplary role model by positively supporting teams in every manner possible, including content of cheers and signs.
  • Respect fans, coaches, personnel and participants.
  • BE A FAN…NOT A FANATIC.

Examples of ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR for EVERYONE in attendance at athletic contests. 

  • Applause during the introduction of players, coaches and officials.
  • Accept all decisions of the officials.
  • Cheerleaders lead fans in encouraging school cheers, performed in a positive manner.
  • Handshakes between participants and coaches at the end of the contest, regardless of outcome.
  • Treat competition as a game, not a war.
  • Coaches and players search out opposing participants to recognize them for outstanding performance.
  • Applause at the end of a contest for performances by all participants.
  • Showing concern for an injured player, regardless of team.
  • Encouraging surrounding people to display only sportsmanlike conduct.
  • During the National Anthem, student-athletes, participants, coaches and fans remove all hats or headwear, face the flag, remain silent, place their right hand on the heart and remain still until the end of the anthem.

Examples of UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR for EVERYONE in attendance at athletic contests. 

  • Disrespectful or derogatory cheers, chants, songs or gestures.
  • Booing or heckling an official’s decision.
  • Criticizing officials in any way; displaying anger at an official’s call.
  • Refusing to shake hands or give recognition for good performances.
  • Blaming losses on officials, coaches or participants.
  • Laughing or name-calling to distract an opponent.
  • Use of profanity or displays of anger that draw attention away from the game or activity.
  • Performing one’s own cheer, instead of following the lead of cheerleaders.

Please help us this year stress the love of athletic competition and sportsmanship as we cheer on the Wildcats!

QUAPAW PUBLIC SCHOOLS TRAVEL TO ACTIVITIES

January 14, 2019

Adopted by Board of Education

All team members and managers traveling under the supervision of the coach and/or sponsor are to go and return from  out of town games/activities by transportation supplied by the school. Players (students) shall not drive to any activity they are participating in.

 Students involved in supporting the team in an organized group will travel under the supervision of the sponsor when transported in school vehicles.

 Regardless of how students travel to a game, their actions and conduct are the business of the school and proper discipline will be taken when conduct is improper. It is not the intention of the school to restrict the freedom or privileges of students, but the school feels a duty for the safety of its students and the reputation of the school.

Students riding the bus to an activity are expected to return on the bus, except when personally requested by the parent or legal guardian to return with them and sign the sign out sheet provided by the coach or sponsor. If the student is to ride home with anyone else such as grandparent or any other responsible adult, the parent or legal guardian must submit to the principal a written request prior to the activity and that person must sign the sign out sheet provided by the coach or sponsor.  The principal will notify the coach or sponsor of the approval.

For school activities, the participating students must ride school-arranged transportation only. If a student participates in the activity, he/she must travel to and from the activity with the group. Release from this will be only to parents or legal guardian and only with prior approval of sponsor and/or the principal.

Fight fellows (fight fight fight)
Bring up the score!!
Hey!

Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the U.S. and its use is growing. Marijuana use among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women is going up. At the same time, the perception of how harmful marijuana use can be is declining. Increasingly, young people today do not consider marijuana use a risky behavior.

Brain Health: Marijuana can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age.  These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting marijuana.

Mental Health: Studies link marijuana use to depression, anxiety, suicide planning and psychotic episodes.  It is not known, however, if marijuana use is the cause of these conditions.

Athletic Performance: Research shows that marijuana affects timing, movement, and coordination, which can harm athletic performance.
