The University Athletic Association is committed to excellence as manifested in an atmosphere of sportsmanship and fair play.

• Sportsmanship is about demonstrating respect for opposing teams, coaches and fans, as well as officials.
  
• Competition and sportsmanship are not mutually exclusive...they are compatible and complementary goals.
  
• Sportsmanship is everyone’s responsibility.

In a unified effort to promote respect for student-athletes, coaches, and officials in intercollegiate athletics, the Division III Commissioners Association in partnership with the Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee encourages all institutions and conferences as well as all student-athletes, coaches, and fans to pledge their commitment to our campaign to build positive spirit in the stands throughout Division III. The more who join, the stronger our impact will be.
