Student Athlete Code of Conduct

  • Give your total effort, to make the most of your God given talent.
  • Practice to the best of your ability.  Give maximum energy and effort at every game.
  • Have a humble, Christ-like attitude. Be gracious in victory and defeat.
  • Refrain from making demeaning and/or negative comments about teammates, coaches, and parents.
  • Extend kindness to visiting student-athletes, coaches, and fans. Make them feel welcome.
  • Behave as an honored guest when you visit another school.
  • Refrain from taunting opposing players, coaches, fans, officials (Taunting includes any actions or comments that are intended to anger, embarrass, or degrade another person.)
  • Treat officials as professionals at their job.   Accept absolutely and without quarrel the final decision of any official. Do not blame the loss of a game on the refs!
  • Respectfully follow coaches’ decisions and honor their positions of authority.

Remember that your words and actions on or off the court and in the stands reflect on you, your personal witness, your family, and your home school group.

 
Consequences of Poor Sportsmanship
  • 1st offense – Meeting with Coach
  • 2nd offense – Coach and Parent Conference
  • 3rd offense - Suspended from any participation with the team for one week.
  • 4th offense – Suspended from the team for the remainder of the season.


Parent Code of Conduct

  • Cheer enthusiastically, not in hostility toward the opposition. 
  • Refrain from making demeaning and/or negative comments. “Brothers do not slander one another.” James 4:11.  This means do not talk about one another.  Make positive comments or not comment at all.
  • Extend kindness to visiting athletes, coaches, and fans. Make them feel welcome.
  • Behave as an honored guest when you visit another school.
  • Be gracious in victory and defeat. 
  • Treat officials as professionals at their job.  Accept their calls and decisions. Do not taunt, correct, or yell at the refs.  You will be asked to leave the gym.  Encourage the team; don't ref the game.  Do not blame the loss of a  game on the refs or model that behavior to your player.
  • Respect the coaches’ authority to coach the game. Refrain from coaching your child from the stands. All comments or yelling from the stands should be positive in nature.


Consequences of Poor Sportsmanship
Any demeaning actions directed towards other student athletes, coaches, officials, or fans will not be tolerated and could result in removal from the site of the athletic competition, followed by a meeting with the athletic director. We understand emotions run high during athletic competition. However, repeat offenses of negative behavior and non-adherence to this policy will result in revoking parent attendance privileges.
