SPORTSMANSHIP STATEMENT(Read at each game)

Members of the Jefferson County League believe that good sportsmanship

is the cornerstone of a quality athletic program. The Jeffco School District

expects that all student-athletes, coaches, and spectators will strive to represent

the qualities of good sportsmanship. Failure to do so may lead to loss of privilege

to attend district sponsored athletic events. (Name of School) requests your

cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner.

Sportsmanship; It’s how we play the game! Thank you.
