The Federal League, and its member schools and communities, believes that sportsmanship should occur both on and off the field of play. To earn the title of having sportsmanship, one must always demonstrate honesty, responsibility, and respect for teammates, opponents and themselves. Respect for opponents is demonstrated by our actions and our words and under no circumstances may any kind of negative action be taken against others.
In a culture of sportsmanship, athletes, coaches, officials and fans are encouraged to:
- Shake hands after games
- Respect others and the spirit of competition
- Win with class and lose with dignity
- Value all sports (equity)
- Have self-control
- Demonstrate ethics, integrity, and character
- Promote a positive mental attitude and spirit
- Lead by example
