Treating opponents with respect

Good sportsmanship is like the "golden rule" of sports, treat people you play with and against, as you'd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.

If a student is not prepared they will receive only half credit for the day and may be asked to walk for the duration of class. If it is a second offense a letter will be sent home to inform the parents. If there is a problem obtaining proper attire please let me know so we can work something out.
