“Do What’s Right!”
“Do What’s Right!”

The “Do What’s Right!” Program builds upon the IHSA’s
current efforts to promote and recognize sportsmanship within
our teams, schools and communities. The Program sets
minimum guidelines and may be incorporated into a conference’s
existing sportsmanship program.

Over the past few years, our member schools have voiced an
increased desire for greater promotion and recognition of
sportsmanship. In response to this demand, the Sportsmanship
Advisory committee is responsible to evaluate and improve upon
the current methods of encouraging and supporting
sportsmanship.
