📣 PSA: Respect the Game, Support Your Team!

The Officials: They Make the Game Possible
We've all been there: the intensity of a high-stakes game. But before you shout at the person in stripes, take a deep breath and remember:
📢Officials are human: They are often volunteers, parents, or community members dedicating their time so our athletes can play. They are doing their best to manage a fast-paced game.
📢Zero Tolerance for Abuse: Inappropriate language, insults, or aggressive behavior directed at officials is never acceptable. This behavior creates a negative environment and is one of the leading reasons why we are seeing a national shortage of sports officials.
📢The Golden Rule: Treat officials the way you would want to be treated—with respect and courtesy.

The Fans: Your Role is to Cheer, Not Jeer
As fans, you have the power to create an incredible atmosphere. Let's use that power for good!
📣Cheer Loud, Cheer Positive: Focus your energy on enthusiastically supporting your team! A positive chant or a roar of encouragement for your athletes goes much further than a negative remark directed at an opponent or official.
📣Model Good Sportsmanship: High school sports are about learning, growth, and community. The athletes look up to you. Show them what it means to be a gracious competitor and a respectful fan.
📣Our School, Our Reputation: When you are in the stands, you are representing our school and community. Let's make sure our reputation is one of class and excellence.

📢 Remember: The game is for the students. Let's ensure the focus stays on their effort, their skill, and their sportsmanship.
Let's respect the officials and cheer for our team! Thank you!

PER ARKANSAS ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION RULE ANY SPECTATOR EJECTED FROM A GAME WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THE NEXT COMPARABLE EVENT.
