(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.
