THE OFFICIAL’S ROLE IN IMPROVING SPORTSMANSHIP

...and today’s other major issues critical to the welfare of our games and the men and
women who officiate them.

THE SPORTSMANSHIP CHALLENGE

  • What are the root causes of poor sportsmanship?

  • How should officials deal with the challenge?

  • Officials — enforcers? … or leaders in finding solutions?

  • What are proactive officials and associations doing now?
  • National leaders weigh in with their views on the state of officiating today

  • Should officials’ mistakes be made public?

  • Background checks for officials?

  • The safety challenge — what’s being done?

  • Rating refs — yes, it’s still a problem!

  • And … we’ll zero in on the big-time questions that face your sport

“Officials are at the center of the action in every sporting event and are directly and personally affected by the good and bad sportsmanship acts that are part of every game. I’m convinced we officials can do more to positively influence sportsmanship. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s a practical, work-environment issue for us.”

Barry Mano
NASO President

“The NFHS and NASO team is dedicated to be an impact player in the movement to improve sportsmanship. This Summit gathering is appropriate and is right on target. Teaching young people to be good sports is every leader’s responsibility.”

Bob Kanaby
NFHS Executive Director
