Northwest Conference Sportsmanship Forum

Friday, September 20th at 9:30am @ Lakewood High School

The Northwest Conference hosts a sportsmanship forum every year at a rotating location, where all 16 schools participate in the process of developing an understanding of, and model for, sportsmanship. 8 Student leaders are selected from each high school. Coaches, teachers and administrators are also picked to help facilitate the forum and progress the message of sportsmanship throughout the conference. This year, the event was hosted by Lakewood High School on September 20th.

Groups are formed so that all schools mix with one-another and participate together in establishing the high standards for sportsmanship within the conference for each year. Lunch is also catered, and a sportsmanship definition is created each school year by the collective group. This event is annually overseen by Squalicum AD Patrick Brown and his leadership students.

Northwest Conference “Thank an Official” Campaign

Northwest Conference
“Thank an Official” Campaign

During the school year, the 16 member schools of the Northwest Conference are recognizing the importance of the umpires, referees and officials who manage our athletic contests. During each of our athletic seasons, the Northwest Conference has designated a week to show our appreciation for officials through the “Thank an Official” Campaign. Throughout the NWC, we are recognizing and celebrating our officials.

More than 5,000 officials serve Washington State high schools by doing their best to ensure all contests are fair, safe and fun.

Officials are required to register with the state officials’ association, complete annual rules meetings, and attend yearly training clinics. In addition, they spend countless hours in preparation for and traveling to contests.

High school officiating is an avocation, not a vocation. It is something done in addition to full-time employment. Officials work for the enjoyment of staying involved with the sports they love and for the opportunity to give back to kids, coaches and schools.

Officials are crucial in providing our student participants an opportunity to learn life lessons through education-based athletics. Enforcing the rules of the game fairly and consistently, and holding students and coaches to behavior expectations, are vitally important to successful high school events.

We ask all spectators, athletes, and coaches to be especially appreciative of the officials and the great job they do in serving our kids and programs. Without them there are no games!

More officials are needed in all sports and at all levels. For more information on how you can get involved, go to woa-officials.com for more information on becoming an official.
