Over the last year or so, New Jersey school administrators with the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), including Tenafly’s own Mr. Joe Carollo, met to discuss, among other issues, spectator behavior at sporting events. Behavior at sports events has been increasingly poor in recent years, which was the main point of discussion. It was ultimately decided that a Spectator Code of Conduct would be adopted to regulate this behavior. The policy, which would be announced at all interscholastic sports events, mandates that spectators manage their behavior during games. Striking other attendees, using loud or offensive language, or performing vulgar gestures are all examples of actions that could warrant disciplinary action against the offender.
