This post will serve as a reminder of the OSSAA established sportsmanship rule (Suspension from Athletic Activities for Unsporting Behavior Rule).

The rule covers all OSSAA sanctioned events and was established in efforts to improve sportsmanship at HS & MS athletic events.

Any “egregious” unsportsmanlike behavior by Coaches, Players, or Fans two or more times in the same season / same sport will cause the SUSPENSION of the Team and/or Individual from the rest of the season.

The OSSAA cited some the following examples of “egregious” unsportsmanlike behavior:
- Fans verbally or physically attacking officials.
- Fans verbally or physically attacking other fans.
- Fans verbally or physically attacking coaches/school officials.
- Coaches verbally or physically attacking officials.
- Players getting into fights with other players while shaking hands at the end of contests.
- Student sections verbally chanting inappropriate or demeaning chants at individuals, teams, or officials.

Good sportsmanship starts with YOU. We ask that all of our fans come out to cheer on our student athletes and help to support their athletic efforts. Please be aware that failure to abide by the policies and rules governing good sportsmanship may result in the loss of the privilege to attend future activities.

-Mr. Randy Turney, CPS Superintendent
