Code of Conduct

We value the relationship we have with our students and parents, striving to treat one another with respect and dignity, and offering support where needed. In turn, we expect parents and caregivers of children attending any of our programs to follow the same principles.

​

All Parties Should:

​

Respect

  • Treat one another with respect.

  • Respect the confidentiality of the situation and the privacy of individuals involved.

  • Respect the beliefs, cultures, and opinions of others, even if you disagree.

​

Support

  • Follow the procedures and practices of the program, and if you disagree with something, talk to the coach/teacher first.

​

Ethical Communication

  • Use appropriate communication skills.

  • Stay calm and relaxed.

  • Use non-judgmental, respectful language.

  • Seek advice whenever appropriate.

​

Ethical Conduct

  • Do not smoke anywhere in sight of children.

  • Do not possess, use, or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs on school premises.

  • Do not harass or abuse any person or use profanity on sports facility grounds.

  • Do not take any photographs or video/audio recordings without permission. To do so is illegal.

​

Parents and Caregivers Should:

  • Behave and dress appropriately.

  • Act with care and diligence.

  • Behave honestly and with integrity.

​

To ensure that we make everyone’s experience in sport as positive as possible, we expect that parents and caregivers will abide by these additional principles:

​

Sportsmanship and Support

  • Encourage your child to play each sport by the rules and laws of the game.

  • Support and encourage fair play from all players, including the opposition.

  • Never publicly criticize your child or other players.

  • Do not question decisions made by the match officials.

  • Show respect for the program with particular regard to attendance and timekeeping.

  • Abide by all regulations of the program and requests by coaches.

  • Focus on the effort and performance rather than winning or losing. Recognize that the coaches are following a long-term program of development for your child.

  • Do not coach from the sidelines. The only information and/or instructions to the players should come from the coach.

  • Remember that children learn best by example. Applaud good play by all players and teams.

  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.

  • Show appreciation of volunteer coaches, officials, and administrators. Without them, your child could not participate.

  • Discuss any concerns with the coach so they can address them directly.

  • Accept all decisions and requests by the coach on the day. If you wish to dispute them later, find a time convenient to yourself and the coach.

These guidelines help foster a positive, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact our office.
