Hello WG Sports Fans! The fall season is underway. Enjoy some of the images from last week. I’m also writing to remind our fans about the importance of sportsmanship as well. An uptick in the frequency and intensity of bad behavior in recent years at high school events prompted the New York State Public High School Athletic Association to design and approve a spectator sportsmanship policy that will go into effect at the start of the 2023-24 school year. I want all fans to be aware of the new rules that are in place and the consequences for being removed from a game. Spectators can lose the right to attend many of our games for a period of time. Fans removed from games will be required to complete a couple l hour online courses through NFHS Learn. One video is called “Positive Parenting within School Programs” and the other is called “The Parent Seat.” Please see the following online article with more information about this issue and watch the short video to see why many people are choosing not to officiate. It is a sad day when these kinds of unsportsmanlike behaviors rear their heads and punitive actions are needed to improve school safety for athletes, coaches and officials. Let’s reflect on our own potential behaviors, keep ourselves in check at events and stay positive no matter the call. We are the models of our children’s future behavior.
