– Athletic Code of Conduct

The actions of a student-athlete are a reflection of themselves, their team, their school, and their community. However, student-athletes must remember that their participation in school sport is a privilege, not a right.

Therefore:
1. Adherence to school policies with respect to attendance, behaviour, and scholastic achievement is a requirement of team membership.
2. Each team member is expected to maintain ACADEMIC and EFFORT STANDARDS consistent with his/her ability. Regular class attendance is mandatory. If a student is unable to attend class the day of a league, exhibition, or zone playoff game in whole or in part may not be able to play in the game.

An athlete unable to meet the ACADEMIC and EFFORT STANDARDS may receive a suspension for a game, week, or season of play from the Athletic Department, or school.

3. Student-athletes will:
1. Treat Everyone with Respect
a. Including team-mates, coaches, opponents, event organizers, spectators, and officials.
b. Respect and accept, with dignity, the decisions of officials.
c. Be generous in winning and graceful in losing.
2. Exercise Self-Control at all times
a. Remember that there is no place in sport for drugs or alcohol.
b. Refrain from the use of foul or profane language.
c. Refrain from the use of physical force outside of the rules of the game.
