“Do What’s Right!”

“Do What’s Right!”

The “Do What’s Right!” Program builds upon the IHSA’s current efforts to promote and recognize sportsmanship within our teams, schools and communities. The Program sets minimum guidelines and may be incorporated into a conference’s existing sportsmanship program.

Over the past few years, our member schools have voiced an increased desire for greater promotion and recognition of sportsmanship. In response to this demand, the Sportsmanship Advisory committee is responsible to evaluate and improve upon the current methods of encouraging and supporting sportsmanship.

Annual Conference Sportsmanship Award

The Annual Conference Sportsmanship Award will be given to the conference school which has accumulated the most points throughout the three seasons.

The Annual Conference Sportsmanship Award banner will be available for purchase through the IHSA website.

The conference representative will send the award recipient’s information to the IHSA to be posted online.

Ideas: 1. The conference has one traveling banner

2. Conferences with non team sports (i.e. tennis, cross country etc.) may allow those head coaches to rank schools and add those points to the overall total.

Registered conference affiliated schools are eligible to earn each of the three awards described above, while registered independent schools are only eligible to earn a State Finals Sportsmanship Award.

Independent schools must register annually by October 20

with the IHSA to be eligible for the State Final Sportsmanship award consideration.
