Good sportsmanship is an integral component of Mercy Athletics and the way in which our athletes, coaches, and fans approach competition.
The manner in which our school is represented is far more important than wins and losses. We believe that our athletic contests are an extension of the classroom, and we value spirited and fair play as well as positive support for players and teams.
The primary purpose of interscholastic athletics is to promote the physical, mental, moral, and emotional well-being of our student athletes. Therefore, we expect all members of the Mercy community to lead by example and demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times. Mercy will not tolerate any spectator, either student or adult, whose behavior is disrespectful towards players, officials, coaches, or other spectators. Profanity, degrading remarks, and intimidating actions directed at officials or competitors will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the event site.
We thank you in advance for meeting this high standard at every Mercy event.
