Parent Code of Conduct

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 will abide by the following guidelines: 

1.  I will support the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, self-discipline, loyalty, commitment, and hard work at meets, practice, and other swimming/diving events, in all my dealings with coaches, parents, swimmers and officials. 

2.  I will get involved by volunteering, observing practices, cheering at meets, and talking with my child and their coach about their progress. 

3.  I will always show respect and common courtesy to the team members, coaches, competitors, officials, parents, and all facilities.

4. I will refrain from coaching my child from the stands during practices or meets.  If I have a concern with my swimmer or the program, I understand the appropriate course of action is to schedule an appointment with the coaching staff to discuss my concerns. 

5.  I will maintain control and conduct myself in a manner that is respectful of others. I understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed towards swimmers, coaches, officials, volunteers, or any other parent is unsportsmanlike, will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action. 

6.  I will respect the integrity of the officials.

7.  I will direct my concerns to first to our coaching staff; then, if not satisfied, to the appropriate supervisor/board member.

I agree to sign this Code of Conduct understanding that violation of this code may result in sanctions or participation with Colonial Community Aquatics including loss of membership.
