The actions of a student-athlete are a reflection of themselves, their team, their school, and their community.  A student’s involvement in school sports provides opportunities and experiences that are important to the development of a well-rounded student.  However, student-athletes must remember that their participation in school sports is a privilege, not a right. 

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is  what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”                                                                                                                                                      John Wooden

Student-athletes shall:

1. Treat everyone with respect

   1. Treat teammates, coaches, opponents, event organizers, and spectators with respect

   2. Respect and accept, with dignity, the decisions of officials

   3. Be generous in winning and graceful in losing

2. Exercise self-control at all times

   1. There is no place in sports for drugs or alcohol, including tobacco

   2. Refrain from using foul or profane language

   3. Refrain from the use of physical force outside the rules of the game

3. Play Fair

   1. Play within the rules and the spirit of the game at all times

4. Citizenship and commitment

   1. Be a positive role model in the school and classroom

   2. Be on time for and attend all classes, practices and team events. Having unexcused absences, unsatisfactory work habits, and wandering the halls could jeopardize this good standing and could then result in a player being removed from a team.

   3. Maintain a minimum “satisfactory” work habit in all classes. Leaving class earlier than directed by a coach on game day would negate the athlete from participating in that day’s game, and further consequences at the coach’s discretion. Wandering halls instead of being in class, or taking extended breaks can jeopardize play within the team.
