“Do What’s Right!”
“Do What’s Right!”

The “Do What’s Right!” Program builds upon the IHSA’s
current efforts to promote and recognize sportsmanship within
our teams, schools and communities. The Program sets
minimum guidelines and may be incorporated into a conference’s
existing sportsmanship program.

The Sportsmanship Advisory committee is responsible to
evaluate and improve upon the current methods of encouraging
and supporting sportsmanship.

All information and downloadable forms are available through
IHSA.org.
“Do What’s Right!”
When a conference or independent school registers for the Do What’s
Right! program, they agree to communicate and actively educate
their students, fans and communities of the following:
Do What’s Right! Expectations:

Represent your school and community through positive interaction
with opposing fans and players.

Uses positive cheers, chants, songs or gestures.

Display modesty in victory and graciousness in defeat.

Respect and acknowledge the integrity/judgment of officials.

Exhibit positive behavior before, during and after the contest.

The DWR! Program provides an opportunity to recognize students, coaches, student
bodies and communities who demonstrate positive sportsmanship.
The DWR! Program serves as a vehicle to reach tomorrow’s leaders and work with
them at our division workshops and leadership conference, where they can learn new
skills to share with their fellow students at their home schools.
The DWR! Program will provide an opportunity to recognize Sportspersons of the
Year from each of our Board Divisions who best embody the program’s ideals.
The DWR! Program will enable the IHSA to develop resources for member schools
on such topics as appropriate sportsmanship, health & wellness, and confronting
hazing that they can use with their student populations.
The DWR! Program promotes Add-A-Tude, the IHSA’s sportsmanship mascot, to
our communities across the state.
The DWR! Program is another avenue the IHSA can use to promote the over-all
value in interscholastic participation.
The DWR! Program core Expectations provide a consistent message of positive
behavior for teams, students and fans throughout Illinois.

conference elements (i.e., selection, reporting, etc.), a
distinction is made between schools within a conference and

each of the three awards described above, while registered
independent schools are only eligible to earn a State Finals
Sportsmanship Award.
