Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association is reminding parents that their member schools are facing a shortage of game officials, and bad behavior from the stands during games is the number one cause.
The Association has joined the NFHS’ Bench Bad Behavior program, which provides schools with flyers and other materials designed to draw attention to the problem and encourage good sportsmanship at all high school events.
Those materials are part of a tool kit being made available to schools which also includes a new public service announcement and public address announcer scripts drawing attention to the issue.
Schools can download the tool kit here.
The reminder comes on the same day that the WIAA Girl’s Basketball State Tournament opens in Green Bay, and as boy’s basketball teams are nearing the end of their season as well.
