The College Squash Association will promote and expect good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches, staff and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner. Cheer for your team, not against opponents. Profanity, racist or sexist comments or other intimidating actions directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches or team representatives are not acceptable and are grounds for removal from the site of competition. Also, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
