Good sportsmanship is the attitude and behavior that exemplifies positive support for the interscholastic activities in Nebraska High Schools. Positive experiences do not occur by chance, rather they are a result of educational structure, the right perspective, the right leadership, and the true understanding of sportsmanship. The focus of activities and competition is too often mistaken with winning. It is essential that participants, coaches, parents and fans are constantly reminded to “Cheer 4 Your Team”!
To further enhance efforts for sportsmanship promotion, we invite all member schools to participate in the 2013-2014 “Cheer 4 Your Team!” Sportsmanship Banner Contest. Each school is encouraged to submit one banner design based on good sportsmanship theme.
The selected banner will receive state-wide visibility in:
NSAA State Championships, inclusion in NSAA Publications, and Nebraska Coaches Association (NCA) and Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) websites.
The winning school will also receive a $1,000 donation to their Activities Department.
