The Independent School League Creed:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The ISL values spirited and fair play as well as positive support for our players and teams. In order to ensure that our expected level of decorum continues each season and at each game, all members of the ISL community shall continually review their efforts to abide by the ideals of our league.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

• Players shall at all times represent themselves and their school with honor, proper conduct and sportsmanship.
• They shall understand that competitive rivalries are encouraged but that disrespect for opponents is unsportsmanlike and lessens the value of the rivalries.
• They shall confine the competitiveness of the game to the field, and in particular behave properly on the sidelines and in the locker rooms both before and after games.
• Players shall comply fully with the rulings of the officials. In no way, either by voice, action or gesture, shall they demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the decisions made. Players must never forget that they represent their school.
