The Capitol Area Officials Association awards a sportsmanship award to one school in each of the sports that our officials work. The criteria for the award is the schools that display a positive attitude and superior sportsmanship during the games by the players coaches and fans that our officials have either worked or watched. The officials submit schools to be considered for this award and then hold an election of the schools submitted to determine which school will receive this award each year.
