Phillips Academy strives to encourage good sportsmanship throughout our athletic program, and this includes good fan behavior. We expect all spectators at our contests to be respectful of players, coaches, officials, and other spectators. Fans are encouraged to applaud the efforts of their team and should not engage in any behavior that is critical, distracting, or derogatory toward opponents or officials. We believe it is imperative to let the players, coaches, and officials play the game. Fans can be an "extra person" for their squad, supporting and cheering on their side, but our school will not permit any behavior that detracts from the proper conduct of the game or disadvantages a player or team.
