Code of Conduct

The purpose of these rules is to help a sports participant become a good citizen by seeking to demonstrate proper behavior and a good attitude at all times.

These rules are designed to instill pride, discipline and team spirit in the individual and to achieve maximum physical and/or mental performance in athletics. The individual is required to make a commitment to the community, school, team, coach, and himself by adhering to the established rules and regulations - a condition that must be fulfilled for satisfactory participation in any sport. Obeying the rules is a matter of honor to each individual who makes this commitment. Enforcement of the rules and adjudication of any violations is the responsibility of the Athletic Director.

Athletic participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the team, to the student body and to the community. When an athlete accepts this privilege, he/she must also live up to a code of conduct beyond that of the general student body, on and off school property, during season and the off season.

The athlete's code of conduct is that of good citizenship and sportsmanship. This means that athletes will live by the laws of the country, state, county and town and follow the rules and policies of the school district and athletic department.

A few examples of unacceptable behavior both on and off school property are: truancy or illegal absence from school or classes; insubordination; fighting; lack of cooperation with school personnel; vandalism; violation of the rights of others stealing and assault and harassment.
