Winter Spectator Reminder
Greetings.
As we move further into our winter sports season, we are incredibly grateful for the energy and passion you bring to every game. Our student-athletes thrive when they feel the support of their community. To ensure we continue to provide the best possible environment for our players, we would like to share a few important reminders regarding spectator behavior and sportsmanship.
To ensure a positive environment for our students, please keep the following expectations in mind:
Positive Cheering Only: We encourage loud and passionate support for our players, provided it remains respectful and positive.
Respect the Officials: There is a critical shortage of officials across the state. Please refrain from criticizing or yelling at them so we can continue to staff our games.
Let Coaches Coach: Spectators should avoid "coaching from the stands." If questions regarding officiating arise, our coaches will handle them through the proper channels during the game.
Game Stoppage Policy: Please be aware that officials have the authority to stop or suspend a game if they encounter negative spectator interactions.
Thank you for helping us set a high standard for our students and representing SATEC with sportsmanship and pride.
We look forward to seeing everyone out supporting our athletes!
