Each MPA Sport/Activitiy Committee is committed to promoting and recognizing outstanding sportsmanship during the regular season and throughout the tournament. Good sportsmanship is conduct which imposes a type of self-control involving honest rivalry, courteous relations among the players, coaches, and officials, and graceful acceptance of results. To make the sportsmanship banner selection process meaningful the committee asks that coaches and athletes from all levels of the program be involved in the voting process.
Areas to be considered:
A. Neat attire by players, coaches, and managers.
B. Players supporting one another on the field/court/ice and from the bench.
C. No acts of unnecessary roughness/taunting.
D. No inappropriate gestures, language, or expressions.
E. Players using appropriate and positive communication to their coach.
F. Players and coaches treating officials with respect—no inappropriate gestures, language, or expressions.
G. Positive community involvement.
Sportsmanship banners will be presented in all classes in both the North and South division, if applicable.
Any school that receives an ejection, at any level in the program, shall be ineligible for the award. Schools that do not submit a sportsmanship ballot may not be considered for the award.
