Central Arkansas Christian Schools

Sportsmanship Position

Central Arkansas Christian Schools believes good sportsmanship is an attitude that manifests itself in actions. As Christians and those who support Christian principles and behaviors, CAC fans must not abandon their commitment to those principles at the door or gate of an athletic or competitive event. Nor can CAC fans afford to abandon their Christian perspective under the guise of "competitive spirit" or "trendy behavior."

Fans are not at a competitive event to intimidate or ridicule the other team, fans, or officials but to support and yell for their team and to enjoy watching skill and competition.

Additionally, as a member of the Arkansas Activities Association, Central Arkansas Christian is committed to upholding and enforcing the Sportsmanship Initiative adopted by member schools.

“The Arkansas Activities Association defines sportsmanship as those qualities of behavior which are characterized by generosity and genuine concern for others.  Good sportsmanship is abiding by the rules of a contest and accepting victory or defeat graciously.  It should be evident in all school functions and should demonstrate the ability to accept defeat without complaint, to enjoy victory without bragging, and to treat opponents with fairness and courtesy.

Interscholastic activities are an integral part of the educational curriculum and experience.  They provide an arena for participants to grow, to excel, to understand, and to value the concepts of sportsmanship.  They provide an opportunity for coaches and school staff to teach citizenship, to build school pride, and to increase student involvement which translates into improved academic performances.  Sportsmanship must be taught, modeled, expected, and reinforced in the classroom and in all competitive activities.  Interscholastic activities are a training field for future leaders.”
