DIAA Emphasizes Commitment to Safety Ahead of State Tournaments

Dover, DE – February 22 –  As we approach the highly anticipated DIAA State Tournaments, the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) reaffirms our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all student-athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators.

DIAA is aware of incidents involving spectator misconduct that have occurred during the regular season, some of which have impacted the play of game. Each reported incident has been thoroughly investigated in coordination with school administration and law enforcement, with some cases resulting in legal action.

Our top priority is to provide an environment where student-athletes can compete at the highest level without unnecessary disruptions and where officials can carry out their duties with fairness and integrity. Spectator behavior that interferes with the competition, threatens safety, or undermines the spirit of the game will not be tolerated.

DIAA is implementing enhanced safety measures and working closely with schools, venue personnel, and law enforcement to ensure our state tournaments offer a positive and family-friendly experience. We encourage all attendees to embrace the values of sportsmanship, respect, and support for the student-athletes who have worked tirelessly to reach this stage.

Together, we can foster an environment where student-athletes, coaches, and officials thrive, while fans enjoy the excitement of championship competition in a positive and respectful setting. DIAA values the support of our member schools, families, and spectators in promoting sportsmanship and integrity. Let’s make this tournament season a safe and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
