ATHLETE-PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT TEAM PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
ATHLETE: I hereby confirm that I will make every effort to be a positive member of my team, displaying good sportsmanship at all times. I understand that this is non-school sports activity but will maintain appropriate grades and behavior to ensure my participation. I will strive to attend and actively engage in all scheduled practices, events, and meets, and notifying my coaches in advance if I am unable to do so. I am committed to practicing and performing to the best of my ability, recognizing that the interests of the team take priority over individual achievements. I pledge not to criticize the performance of my teammates, coaches, officials, or competitors. I will conduct myself respectfully during practices, events, and meets, and never intentionally seeking to harm another athlete. I acknowledge that failure to comply with these regulations may result in suspension or dismissal from the Blue Lightning Track Club.
PARENT: I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for my child’s participation in youth sports by adhering to this code of ethics. I will actively demonstrate good sportsmanship, offering positive support to all athletes, coaches, and officials at every game, practice, or youth sport event. I prioritize the emotional and physical well-being of my child above any personal desire to win. I am committed to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for my child to participate as a team member on the Blue Lightning Track Club, and pledge to refrain from drug, alcohol, and tobacco usage in the practice, event, meet, and travel facilities. I will remember that practices and meet competition are primarily for the youth athlete and not for the adults involved, unless requested by the head coach. I will do my utmost to make youth sports enjoyable for my child and will encourage them to treat other athletes, coaches, fans, and officials with respect, regardless of race, gender, religion, or ability. I will make every effort for my child to attend all practices, events, and meets, promptly notifying the coach if they are unable to attend.
