Athletic Event Rules Athletic Event Rules

Our priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, fans, and guests. We expect everyone attending our events to help maintain a secure atmosphere by following District procedures and our athletic event rules.


Good sportsmanship is crucial. Coaches, officials, and student-athletes dedicate their efforts to the spirit of competition, and we ask for your positive encouragement and support. Booing, taunting, or intimidating others is unsportsmanlike and may lead to removal from the facility. We encourage vigilance in reporting safety concerns to event staff.


As a reminder, sporting events are school functions, and expectations for student behavior are the same as when in school.
