On
May 25, 1999, nearly 50 inuential leaders in sports issued the Arizona
Sports Summit Accord to encourage greater emphasis on the ethical and
character-building aspects of athletic competition. At
its March 2000 meeting, the VHSL Executive Committee endorsed and adopted
the accord's operating principles. It
is hoped that the framework and values set forth by the Arizona
Accord will be practiced widely by VHSL schools and others who are
responsible for administering athletic programs.
To read the full Accord and to learn strategies on how you can
promote good sportsmanship, go to http://www.charactercounts.org/sports/accord.htm.
