Ejections Down 55% in Three Years Using STAR Sportsmanship Program
January 28, 2009 
Birmingham, AL – Statistics from the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) confirm that Alabama has reported a significant reduction in high school sports ejections. Over a three-year period from 2005 to 2008, AHSAA reports 55 percent fewer player and coach ejections.
AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese credits the commitment of the state’s education leadership, athletic directors and coaches in utilizing the mandated STAR Sportsmanship™ program as the vehicle for this remarkable improvement statewide.
Alabama schools began implementing the STAR Sportsmanship program three years ago in grades 3-12 as a tool for Sportsmanship and Character Education, Steroid/Drug Prevention and Critical Thinking Skills Development.
The interactive, online program engages students with graphically appealing digital games, sportsmanship heroes and current events from the real world of sports, role-playing exercises in real-life scenarios and modeling of consequences.
The Alabama State Legislature, Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS) and the State Superintendent of Education took leadership roles in initiating state-sponsored access to the program beginning in 2005.
By the 2007 fall and winter sports seasons, 98.7 percent of ejections in Alabama high school sports were by schools not using the STAR program.
