Various sports are held throughout the year. District guidelines for participation must be upheld as described by the coach and the newsletter. Good sportsmanship is important. All school rules are enforced at all events. We expect you to support Sabin's teams in a positive manner. Negative cheers, taunting, profanity, racial or sexist comments or other intimidating actions directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches, team representatives or fans will not be tolerated. These actions are grounds for removal from the site of competition and possible suspension from school. We want our fans to enhance the reputation of our school and community by showing that their love for good competition is superior to a demand for victory at all costs.
