RATIONALE

In order to accomplish the objectives set forth, it is necessary to develop and maintain team spirit that is based on appropriate standards. Certain regula­tions are necessary to prevent disruption of team spirit that could detract from the competition and cooperation values provided by athletics.

If appropriate benefits are to be derived from the athletic program, it must be able to operate in a climate devoid of disruptive influence. If the community is to truly identify with its schools through the activities programs, it is imperative that participants conduct themselves in a manner that will inspire pride and approval.
