METROPLEX AQUATICS PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT



The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to establish consistent expectations for parent behavior. As a parent/guardian, I understand the important role my child’s participation plays in their growth and development. I also recognize the need to support the coaching staff by respecting their authority to coach the team.

I agree to the following:

• I will set a positive example for athletes by demonstrating good sportsmanship and showing respect and courtesy to team members, coaches, competitors, officials, parents, and facilities.
• I will support the team by volunteering, cheering at meets, and communicating appropriately with my child and their coach regarding progress.
• I will refrain from coaching my child from the stands during practices or meets.
• I will not engage in criticism, name-calling, abusive language, or inappropriate gestures directed toward coaches, officials, volunteers, or swimmers.
• I will respect the integrity and authority of the officials.
• I will address concerns in the proper order: first with my athlete’s direct coach, then the site coordinator, and finally, if necessary, with the appropriate supervisor.
• I understand that failure to follow this Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action.
