Where are you from? Did the parents get in on it and spit at visiting parents?

I played on the tennis team in HS in, Dupage County Illinois and no, no one ever spit at another team. We would have been kicked off the team, and possibly been suspended from school as well if we did that. We had to shake hands after the match. That was back in the 1980's though.

Is spitting at the other team the new millinium way to demonstrate sportsmanship now?

Pasco County School Rules-

Toothpick magic tricks = "unfit to educate children"
Spitting at other people = "Way to go!!!"

Of course that's not going to happen  with tennis players in high school. I meant soccer teams of little snotty kids in middle school or younger - they would do stuff like spit on their hands and line up. I guess they were more the exception than the rule.
