Support for our athletic teams is an important tradition at North Yarmouth Academy. Fan support not only brings members of the Academy community together, but also demonstrates a commitment to our program and to the students who participate in it.

NYA fans are well known for positive support of student athletes and, in recent years, have received good sportsmanship banners for their respectful cheering at basketball and ice hockey games. Thus, it is imperative that students, faculty and parents realize the importance of appropriate fan behavior at all athletic contests. To deride an opponent or official at any time, for any reason, is completely inappropriate. Fans may also not step on the playing field under any circumstances. Such behavior compromises the NYA community’s support of its young men and women. Students, faculty and parents who attend Academy athletic contests should remember that they carry the banner of tradition and pride established by generations of NYA fans.
