Colorado promotes leadership in sportsmanship effort

Sports provide an arena for acceptance among students and an opportunity for students to develop leadership abilities. The Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) is doing more than just focusing on good sportsmanship – it also is promoting positive leadership.

“The goal of ‘We are CHSAA’ was to use the natural leadership of students to help schools become more inclusive to all students – to be the people that stop bullying when it’s happening in the halls,” said CHSAA Assistant Commissioner Bert Borgmann.
