G.M.A.A.. Sportsmanship Program
Sportsmanship is a major focus for G.M.A.A. Each year
we honour the top schools, teams and students who conduct
themselves with pride as good sports. Schools have been given
Plaques stating what the Spirit of Good Sportsmanship is for
each group of participants (schools, coaches, students and
spectators). These plaques should be hanging in each
school as a reminder to all students what is expected of them.
Four means of recognizing good sportsmanship
Step 1 : Sportsmanship Certificates for any team completing
their season without incident. Presented after the completion
of each season.
Step 2 : School Sportsmanship Award presented to all
schools who complete the school year in a minimum of
10 sports and/or teams with less than 6 demerit points.
To be presented at the Annual Awards Banquet.
Step 3 : The Most Sportsmanlike School shall be awarded to
the school in each Competition Zone that has the best record
of sportsmanship Amongst those schools who received the school
sportsmanship award. To be presented at the Annual Awards
Banquet.
Step 4 : The Most Sportsmanlike Athlete in each school as
voted on by staff and fellow athletes in the school. To be
presented at the Annual Awards Banquet.
************************************************
Sportsmanship Certificates
are given to each team in a major sport that completes their
season with a clean record. This means no suspensions,
ejections, poor behavior by team members of fans, etc.
Again schools are asked to hang these in a prominent place
as encouragement for other teams and students to reach for
a high standard of behavior.
