NJSIAA Pregame Sportsmanship Anti-Bias Statement - Revised

As per directive of the NJSIAA starting with the 2022-23 season, the following text is to be read to each head coach with their captains, prior to the beginning of any NJSIAA sanctioned game, on any level:
 

The NJSIAA requires officials to enforce all rules regarding unsportsmanlike conduct by coaches and players. There will be no tolerance for any negative behavior, such as taunting, trash-talking and verbal, written, or physical conduct related to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. Such behavior will result in being ejected from this event. All participants must respect the game, respect the officials and respect their opponents.
