Dear Stewart:
Our office has received numerous complaints and notices regarding poor sportsmanship and unruly behavior displayed by Estancia parents and fans during Estancia boys’ and girls’ basketball games this season. This includes multiple ejections as well as threatening and abusive language and conduct toward officials.
As you are aware, fan misconduct has been an ongoing concern for both the Association as well as our member schools. As a result, we are taking steps to address this issue directly with schools whose fans violate the principles of “Compete with Class.” Under NMAA Bylaw 7.7.4, a school is responsible for the conduct of its team, coaches, students, and fans at any interscholastic event in which the school is participating. Unruly or unsportsmanlike conduct displayed by a school’s fans may cause the school or the individuals involved to be placed on suspension for 180 school/365 calendar days.
Please be advised that due to the persistent poor conduct displayed by Estancia fans this basketball season, any further fan ejections or negative official reports during the remainder of the basketball season will result in the following:
Attendance will not be permitted during any boys’ or girls’ basketball games at Estancia High School for the remainder of the season.
Please ensure policies are in place to address unsportsmanlike conduct in the stands and reiterate to your players, coaches, students, and fans that such behavior will not be tolerated.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact myself or any member of my staff.
Sincerely yours,
Sally Marquez
Executive Director
