Good afternoon,
Over the past few weeks, the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) has reported a significant increase in ejections and unsportsmanlike conduct incidents across the state—more than 20 additional ejections compared to this time last year.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind our wonderful fans and community members of the high expectations we have for sportsmanship at all GNW events, both home and away. We truly appreciate the passion, pride, and energy you bring to our games, and we encourage you to keep that excitement and positivity going.
At the same time, it is important to remember that at no point—before, during, or after a contest—should anyone stand, yell, point, or use inappropriate or abusive language toward players, referees, coaches, or other fans. We want to model respectful behavior for our student-athletes and future Tigers by cheering for our teams and players, not against opposing teams or fans.
The IESA has asked schools to remind all participants and spectators of their ejection policies:
Players
Any player ejected from a game will be ineligible for the next two games
The player may sit on the bench for the remainder of the current game but may not dress
Completion of the NFHS Sportsmanship Course is required, with proof submitted to the school
Coaches
Any head or assistant coach ejected during the state series will be ineligible to coach for the next two games
The coach may not travel with the team or be on site
Completion of the NFHS Sportsmanship Course, proof of completion, and a $100 penalty are required
Fans
Any fan who is ejected must complete the NFHS Sportsmanship Course and provide proof of completion to their school administration
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we work together to create a positive, respectful environment for everyone involved.
Go Tigers!
Andy Stumpf
Superintendent
