CLEARANCE FORMS
By state law, anyone who plays high school sports must have an annual physical examination. If your son or daughter plans to try out for a sport at St. Ignatius this coming school year, you need to turn in a current “Medical Clearance and Parental Permission to Play” form. Click here to download this form. Many forms have already been received in the Athletic Office. Remember that a student will not be allowed to try out, practice, or play until his or her form is in. If you have not already done so, be sure to schedule your physical early and take care of this important matter as soon as possible.

SPORTSMANSHIP
Sportsmanship encompasses the practice of playing fair, taking defeat without complaint and victory without gloating, and treating teammates and opponents with respect and dignity.? In accordance with the school’s philosophy and goals, the promotion of sportsmanship is of utmost importance.? Sportsmanship demonstrated by all involved in athletics is perhaps the clearest sign of the Christian mission of our school.? Everyone associated with an athletic event — coaches, athletes, students, parents, spectators — has a responsibility to uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship before, during, and after a contest.? Sportsmanship includes, but is not limited to, the following:
1. Showing respect for teammates, opponents, and officials;
2. Maintaining self-control;
3. Showing respect for the facility in which the contest is taking place;
4. Refraining from heckling, jeering, or using profane language;
5. In general, being positive in words and actions.
Certain behaviors are considered inappropriate and unacceptable by St. Ignatius. The school and Athletic Department reserve the right to remove or refuse admission to persons who exhibit such behaviors:
1. Repeated berating, humiliating, or taunting of our coaches or players.
2. Repeated berating, humiliating, or taunting of our opponents’ coaches, players, or spectators.
3. Repeated berating or harassment of game officials.
4. Racist, sexist, or profane remarks directed at any coach, player, spectator, or official.
As parents are the primary role models for their children, it is critical that parents set the best possible example of sportsmanship, particularly when they are spectators at an athletic contest.
