The Role of a Tennis Spectator
Being a tennis spectator is not just like any other sport. You are expected
to abide by the following sportsmanship guidelines. If you do not follow
these guidelines you put the tournament officials and your team/coach in an
uncomfortable situation. Schools are encouraged to share this information
with your parents before the beginning of your tennis season.
Spectators:
• Are not permitted on the court
• Should not lean or crowd around the fence
• May not converse with players once they enter the court
• May not, in any way, assist the players with the match (coaching, scoring, line calls, rules, etc.)
• Should refrain from distracting the players
• May cheer or applaud when one of the players hits a winning shot
• Should not cheer or applaud when players commit unforced errors. If you do not understand the difference between an
unforced error and a good shot by your player, DO NOT CHEER! The last thing the State or Region Tennis Tournaments
need is the match to become a matter of which crowd can cheer the loudest. This is very distracting to the players.
• Should realize they are watching the match from angles that differ from the players. Line calls are very different to
make as a tennis player. It is easy to criticize a player for making a bad call when you are standing still watching. Players
who officiate their own matches are not always in a position to make quality calls.
• Good Sportsmanship means respecting the abilities of all players involved. It means giving credit to both sides – win or
lose.
The North Dakota High School Activities Association, Tournament Officials, Coaches, and most of all the players thank
you for your role in applying good sportsmanship in the stands. Thanks for your cooperation!
JOIN US IN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!

Golf Sportsmanship Reminder
NDHSAA requests that sportsmanship and golf etiquette be emphasized during the spring golf season.
Golf coaches are asked to teach the rules of golf etiquette to their participants. There has been concern that some players
are not being honest in counting their score and other rules are being broken because of ignorance of the rules.
Regional and State managers are asked to make an extra effort this year to see foursomes are properly supervised, rules
and sportsmanship are covered in the pre-tournament meeting and the scoring procedure is followed.
The following rules of golf etiquette/sportsmanship should be taught to each golfer and covered at every tournament.
1. Be honest; count every stroke.
2. Make sure you know how many strokes to add for each specific penalty. Don’t guess; ask the tournament manager or
club pro.
3. Don’t move, talk, or stand too close to a player while the player is making a stroke.
4. Don’t play until the group ahead of you is safely out of the way.
5. Play without delay but stay with your foursome. Leave the putting green without delay with your foursome.
6. Each person should call out his/her score as soon as you have holed out so the score is verified.
7. Replace divots, smooth out bunkers, etc.
8. Don’t step in the line of another golfer’s putt.
9. Keep control of your temper. Do not use offensive language or throw clubs.
10. Be a lady/gentleman at all times. Do what is proper and sportsmanlike.
11. Electronic devices are not to be used on the course at any time. – Exception – Distance measuring devices in both
Class A and B.

2020-21 Distinguished Service Award Nominees Requested
NDHSAA is requesting nominations for the 2021-22 Robert D. King Distinguished Service Award. Nominees must
exemplify the highest standards of professional ethics, sportsmanship, moral character, and carry the endorsement of their
local high school. One may nominate an administrator, board of education member, coach, contributor, fine arts coach/
director, fine arts judge, or game official.
The criteria letter and nomination form can be found at www.ndhsaa.com under Administrators & Coaches>Forms.
Nominations should be based on the following criteria:
• School administrators would be considered on the merits of their high school administrative achievements and
contributions to interscholastic activities.
• Board of education nominees would be considered on the merits of their contributions to interscholastic activities,
especially on a state level.
• Coaches would be considered on the merits of their high school coaching achievements only.
• Contributors would be individuals who have made a contribution to interscholastic activities in some other capacity
other than those previously mentioned (may include such areas as sports medicine, sports media, or reporting other school
activities).
• Directors would be considered for their contributions to the interscholastic activities in their school and on a statewide
basis.
• Officials would be considered on the basis of their service as a high school official, adjudicator, judge, etc.
All candidates will be judged on their significant and/or long term contributions to interscholastic activities. While many
have served their local programs over a long and distinguished career, longevity without meaningful state impact does not
constitute appropriate credentials for Distinguished Service Award consideration. Their accomplishments must have been
worthy of state recognition to be considered.
An appointed selections committee will review the nominations with a final list submitted to the entire Board of Directors.
ACT/SAT National Test Dates
Administrators, activities directors and coaches should remind their students of the following 2020-21 dates so they may
avoid conflicts. Please have them contact their school counselor for deadline registration dates and further details.
