SPORTSMANSHIP PHILOSOPHY

ONE TEAM. ONE STANDARD.

SPORTMANSHIP:

Sportsmanship is a demonstration of generosity and genuine concern for others.
Sportsmanship is a concrete measure of the understanding and commitment to fair play.
Sportsmanship is a lending of cheers for “your team” and applause for the “opponents”, observing the letter and the spirit of the rules, and showing consideration for others.
Sportsmanship is the “golden rule” of athletics – treating others as you wish to be treated.
Sportsmanship is respect – respect for others and one’s self.
Sportsmanship encompasses all that is good in human nature.
Sportsmanship is citizenship in action.
