Greetings AmPo Family,
I can’t express enough the importance of conducting ourselves appropriately at ALL school activities.
Also, I can’t express enough how thankful we are to those energetic students and the overwhelming majority of the AmPo Family who cheer loud and proud with positivity and encouragement.
I’m especially thankful for the sportsmanship on display from the AmPo student/athletes and coaches. Your behavior has been impeccable and in-line with the historical expectations of this community. I have received compliments regarding our players and coach’s display of sportsmanship from multiple opposing fans.
Some parents, grandparents, and general fans, however, have NOT shown the appropriate behavior that AmPo Family is known for and expects. Many of the AmPo fans have approached school administration in full agreement and have expressed their frustration with our poor fan behavior and the reflection it has on AmPo.
Displays of poor sportsmanship are unacceptable. Verbal tirades, finger-pointing, and name calling of officials, any participant, or any school official will not be tolerated. The mocking and taunting of high school student/athletes by grown adults is inexcusable. These acts of poor sportsmanship have been demonstrated recently by some of our AmPo fans.
Kids learn appropriate and inappropriate actions at games from observing the actions of the adults attending the games. Your behavior is a major influence on students’ attitude toward sportsmanship.
We ask you to be:
• Energetic and encouraging
• Treat all participants, officials, and other fans with respect
• Demonstrate positive appreciation for all players, coaches, officials, and cheerleaders
• Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat
Bobby Odam
Principal
The OSSAA has taken steps to drastically change this behavior. I’m referencing the new policy that was provided this past fall. Acts of poor sportsmanship could result in the suspension of a team for the remainder of the season. I implore you to duplicate what our student/athletes have modeled and show exceptional sportsmanship. Our kids deserve the best. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
SUSPENSION FROM ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES FOR UNSPORTING CONDUCT 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.
