• To help ensure that sporting behavior by the fans contribute to the event, rather than
    distracts from it, the following guidelines for student cheering sections and general fan behavior is
    offered. These suggestions are merely guidelines for the schools of District 6 to consider for regular
    season events, but WILL be enforced in all District 6 championships.
     
    The Principal and Athletic Director must identify themselves upon arriving at the game site,
    indicate exactly where they can be reached for assistance, and are responsible for crowd control as it
    pertains to representatives and spectators of their school community. The site game manager, the
    site liaison and security personnel will address all concerns and administer appropriate remedial
    measures.
     
    Any additional sport specific concerns will be addressed within that specific handbook. The
    inclusion of any suggestion in this list does NOT imply that a school district may not enact even
    stricter regulations for their own home games. Final decisions on all interpretations are left to the
    individual game manager.
     
    Acceptable Behavior:
    * Clothes appropriate within district dress code.
    * Face paint in school colors limited to school insignias on cheek.
    * Applauding and cheering for your team during introductions, the contest and post-game handshakes.
