We encourage all fans to thoroughly enjoy our school’s sporting events, and ask that they observe the Code of Behavior for Spectators below to ensure everyone at the game/match has the same opportunity. Northville has an excellent reputation for sportsmanship; please also review the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Expectations and help us continue to build upon that. Thank you for supporting Northville athletics – #GoNCSFalcons!
