LANDMARK CONFERENCE SPORTSMANSHIP STATEMENT
Fair and respectful conduct toward all participants and supporters is a tenet of Division III, one that the Landmark and its members strive to achieve at all times. Conference members believe that outstanding sportsmanship and civility are important expectations for all participants to experience at each athletic event, particularly at contests between conference members. Fans and participants are expected to represent their teams, institutions and the conference with behavior above reproach, and to observe the principles of good sportsmanship – civility, respect, honesty, dignity, courtesy, fairness, and integrity.

These are the expectations we have for all attendees:

  • Cheer for the Players
  • Be Respectful to Everyone at All Times – Players, coaches, officials, game staff, and other fans
  • Watch Your Language – No abusive, hostile, or offensive remarks
  • Refrain From Using Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco Products, and Vaping
  • Stay in Designated Spectator Areas
NCAA PRINCIPLE OF SPORTSMANSHIP AND ETHICAL CONDUCT
For intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics participation but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program.
