“Compete with Class” was developed through a collaboration process involving athletic directors, coaches and school administrators as well as input from student and adult communities with the purpose of restoring the placement of interscholastic activities in an educational perspective and providing our state with a sportsmanship program that would be embraced and called our own.  The NMAA encourages all member schools to utilize the materials found below in an effort to promote and establish a strong culture of sportsmanship based on the core values of respect, integrity, and responsibility.
