Dear BHS Students and fans,
With all BHS Fall sports reaching the postseason and with the winter season quickly approaching, it’s crucial that we remind everyone of the importance of positive sportsmanship while cheering on our teams. Whether you’re in the stands or on the sidelines, your behavior can greatly impact the atmosphere of the game and the experience of both players and fellow spectators.
Here are expectations for BHS fans:
1. Support Your Team: Pay attention to the game and cheer loudly and proudly for our athletes! Your encouragement can boost their morale and performance.
2. Respect Opponents & Officials: Remember that the opposing team is made up of teenage athletes just like us. Show them respect. There should not be cheers/jeers against the opponents or officials. Negative remarks about players or officials can create a hostile environment and reflect poorly on yourself, our school, and community.
3. Be Inclusive: Encourage everyone to join in the fun. Invite classmates to cheer and create a welcoming atmosphere for ALL fans and visitors.
4. Accept Redirection Respectfully: If a school official asks you to stop something, kindly accept the direction and move on. Refrain from sarcastic replies or defensive comments. Simply reply with a, “Yes, sir” or “Yes, ma’am” and move on with positive support for your team.
5. Demonstrate Good Sportsmanship: Show appreciation for both teams at the end of the game. A simple round of applause for everyone’s effort can go a long way.
Please note, extracurricular events apply school rules since they are school events. According to our student handbook students removed from an extracurricular event may be banned from the remaining events during that season. Students must maintain positive sportsmanship while cheering for our teams. These events are about supporting the students participating on the field/court/track etc. It is an expectation that BHS fans exemplify our #1 goal of being a decent human while attending any school sanctioned events.
Thank you for your cooperation and enthusiasm.
