Spectator Expectations at Griffith Woods Sporting/Athletic Events  

As parents and spectators, it’s important to remember that our behavior sets the tone for the experience of the athletes, officials, and everyone involved. Here are a few guidelines to ensure a positive environment at our school sporting events:  

• Relieve pressure, don’t increase it.  Let them enjoy their experience without added stress.  
• Cheer for their effort but allow them to grow through their own performance.  
• Respect the judgment of officials and coaches. Their decisions may not always align with your perspective, but it’s important to demonstrate respect for their role and maintain control.  
• Show sportsmanship in all outcomes. Win with humility and lose with dignity. Your attitude in both moments is just as important as the final score.  

Please be aware that Griffith Woods School reserves the right to remove any spectator who does not uphold these expectations at our events. An administrator will be present for all games to assist with supervision during the games. Let’s create an environment where our student-athletes can thrive!   

Thank you so much for supporting our athletes, coaches and referees throughout the athletic season.
