RAYS CODE OF CONDUCT: ATHLETES

The purpose of a code of conduct for athletes is to establish a consistent expectation for athletes’ behavior. By signing this code of conduct, I agree to the following statements:

• ❏  I will respect and show courtesy to my teammates and coaches at all times.

• ❏  I will demonstrate good sportsmanship at all practices and meets.

• ❏  I will set a good example of behavior and work ethic for my younger teammates.

• ❏  I will be respectful of my teammates’ feelings and personal space. Swimmers who

  exhibit sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will be faced with

  consequences.

• ❏  I will attend all team meetings and training sessions, unless I am excused by my coach.

• ❏  I will show respect for all facilities and other property (including locker rooms) used

  during practices, competitions, and team activities.

• ❏  I will refrain from foul language, violence, behavior deemed dishonest, offensive, or

  illegal.

• ❏  If I disagree with an official’s call, I will talk with my coach and not approach the official

  directly.

• ❏  I will obey all of USA Swimming’s rules and codes of conduct.

  I understand that if I violate this code of conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action determined by my coaches and the swim club’s board of directors.
