PVS Panthers Sports Academy Code of Conduct
PVS Panthers Sports Academy seeks to build a strong, positive culture of good sportsmanship and exemplary behavior. This code applies to coaches, team managers, players, parents, and even family/friends of the PVS and its players. Because this is such an important aspect to the culture of PVS, we want to clearly specify the expectations and ensure everyone is fully informed so we can then hold all of the teams’ extended family accountable for their behavior.
Failure to observe the code of conduct could result in forfeiture of a player’s continued team participation. Players who violate the code of conduct will be benched. Family members who violate the code of conduct may be asked to leave a game and/or the gym premises. A player may be asked to leave entirely for repeated violations of the code, and if so, there will be no refunds of the player participation fees.
Players will:
o demonstrate good sportsmanship and respect toward teammates, coaches,
competitors and officials at every game or practice.
o place the emotional and physical well being of the team and others ahead of
personal desire to win or the need to excel individually.
o do his/her best to keep physically in shape and maintain a positive mental attitude for the duration of the season. All players are expected to honor the game and be a good role model and an ambassador for PVS.
Parents will:
o support the coaches and team managers working with PVS in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable sports experience for all.
o always behave respectfully toward their child's teammates, other players, coaches, fans and the officials, despite what they may do or how they themselves might behave and regardless of race, geography, creed or ability. Parents will also reinforce this perspective with their child and will role model the desired behavior for their child.
o do their very best to make sports fun for their child and their teammates and help them balance winning and personal achievement with teamwork and learning sports skills and life lessons.
o communicate directly with coaches or team managers with any problems, questions
concerns or improvement ideas involving their child or the team in general.
o be responsible for picking up and dropping off their child to practices or games on time. If their child is late or unable to attend practices or games, the parent or player will contact the coach and/or team manager and inform them accordingly. Excessive tardiness or absence from practices and/or games may result in the player being benched or asked to step off of the team for the remainder of the season.
