The MHSAA's annual Sportsmanship Summit series will return this November with four stops across the Lower Peninsula, providing training on sportsmanship topics affecting students both on and off the field of play.
The MHSAA has conducted Sportsmanship Summits across Michigan for more than 20 years. This year’s series kicks off Nov. 3 in Lansing and finishes Nov. 12 in Kalamazoo.
MHSAA staff, with assistance from school administrators and the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, conduct Sportsmanship Summits. Up to 800 students are expected to take part in the four workshops, where they will discuss the line that separates good from bad sportsmanship, both as athletes during competition and while participating in off-field activities including as spectators at sporting events.
Workshop sessions will include discussions and hands-on activities on topics including working with game officials, building appropriate student cheering sections, social media behavior and parent conduct at school sports events. Summits also will feature a session developed and instructed by members of the Student Advisory Council. At the end of the day the delegation from each participating school will meet to develop a school sportsmanship campaign.
Sessions will take place at the following:
• Lansing – Nov. 3 – Crowne Plaza Lansing West – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Troy – Nov. 5 – MSU Management Education Center – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Traverse City – Nov. 10 – Grand Traverse Resort – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Kalamazoo – Nov. 12 – Radisson Plaza Hotel – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
The Sportsmanship Summit schedule rotates locations every year. In 2024, MHSAA staff conducted summits in Grand Rapids, Marquette, Saginaw and Ann Arbor.
Registration at each site is limited to the first 200 students and administrators. Schools are welcome to bring as many as 10 total representatives, including two administrators. For additional registration information, contact Andy Frushour at the MHSAA office – [email protected] or (517) 332-5046. Registration information also is available on the Sportsmanship Resources page.
