WIAA Launches “Hear It? See It? Report It!” Sportsmanship Initiative

Monday, October 27th, 2025 -- 8:33 AM

The WIAA is proud to announce the launch of the “Hear It? See It? Report It!” sportsmanship initiative, designed to make reporting inappropriate behavior at high school athletic events easier and more effective than ever before.  The WIAA is introducing a streamlined reporting system – accessible via QR code and online form – so anyone can quickly report incidents of harassment, unsportsmanlike conduct or other inappropriate behavior.  The “Hear It? See It? Report It!” campaign encourages everyone in the Wisconsin education-based athletics community to speak up when they witness:

Harassment or hate speech based on race, gender, religion or personal characteristics

Profane, vulgar, insulting, or offensive language or gestures

Taunting or behavior designed to embarrass, ridicule or demean others

Actions that create a hostile or intimidating environment

Incidents can be reported immediately to a coach, official, event manager or online using the QR code provided at events. For urgent safety concerns you should contact event management or security directly.
