Friends School League Sportsmanship Statement

Promoting sportsmanship and ethical behavior in athletics is one of the primary objectives of the Friends Schools League. The officials at all of our contests have been instructed to enforce these goals. We will not tolerate unsportsmanlike actions including taunting, trash-talking, profanity, obscene gestures, excessive celebration, berating officials and other forms of verbal or physical misconduct. We expect our coaches, athletes and spectators as well as the officials to uphold this code by example before, during and after the game. The Friends Schools League believes strongly that players, coaches and officials should conduct all contests with the spirit of respect for each other and for the rules and traditions of the sport.
