The
Spirit of Competition
Sport activities find their origin in the basic human
need for the spirit of play. Winning and losing are
mere outcomes of this play spirit. What is part of
the game is the pure satisfaction of participation
(fun, fitness, friendship, stress release, etc.) Without
your opponent, you have no game, no contest, and no
fun. You are as indebted to them, as they are to you.
The spirit of play, then, is based on cooperation.
Upholding high standards of integrity and fair play
acknowledges this idea of cooperative competition.
All players are encouraged to exercise good judgment
in the caring for the safety of others as well as themselves.
At DSU, an intentional violation of the rules is considered
cheating and an offense against the spirit of competition.
Abusive language toward officials, other participants,
and manipulation of the rules are not "part of
the game." |
|
A lifetime interest in
sports is a goal of all players, which
has more meaning than that of a win or
a loss — the memory of which often
fades quickly. All players are asked to
participate within the context of this
spirit of play and competition.
