SEWARD TSUNAMI SWIM CLUB CODE OF CONDUCT: PARENTS

Name of athlete(s): __________________________________________________________

The purpose of a code of conduct for parents is to establish consistent expectations for behavior by parents. As a parent/guardian, I understand the important growth and developmental support that my child’s participation fosters. I also understand that it is essential to provide the coaching staff with respect and the authority to coach the team. I agree with the following statements:

❏ I will set the right example for our children by demonstrating sportsmanship and showing respect and common courtesy at all times to the team members, coaches, competitors, officials, parents, and all facilities.

❏ I will get involved by volunteering, attending and actively participating in board meetings, cheering at meets, actively following coach and board communications, and communicating with my child and their coach about their progress as needed and as time allows. NOTE: I understand that the best way to be involved is to be a USA Swimming background checked volunteer.

❏ I understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed toward coaches, officials, volunteers, and/or any participating swimmer will not be tolerated.

❏ I will respect the integrity of the officials.

❏ I will direct my concerns through the appropriate "chain of command" per the STSC Grievance Procedure Policy.

I understand the above expectations and that my failure to adhere to them may result in disciplinary action.
