MOUNTAIN Hi SWIM LEAGUE CODE OF CONDUCT: SWIMMERS AND PARENTS

 

The purpose of the MHSL’s code of conduct is to establish a consistent expectation for swimmers’, parents’, coaches’ and parents’ behavior.  By signing this code of conduct (or completion of registration if by electronic registration), I agree to the following statements:

  • Your swimmer agrees to respect and show courtesy to teammates, competitors, officials and coaches at all times.

  • Your swimmer agrees to good sportsmanship at all practices and meets.

  • Your swimmer agrees to set a good example of behavior and work ethic for younger teammates.

  • Your swimmer agrees to be respectful of their teammates’ feelings and personal space.  Swimmers who exhibit sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will be subject to team and league policy as stated in the MHSL Policies and Procedures in sections 35 and 36 posted on mhsl.org under Documents/League.

  • Your swimmer agrees to show respect for all facilities and other property (including locker rooms) used during practices, competitions, and team activities.

  • Your swimmer agrees to refrain from foul language, violence, behavior deemed dishonest, offensive, or illegal.

  • If your swimmer disagrees with an official’s call, your swimmer agrees to talk with their coach and not approach the official directly.

  • Your swimmer agrees to obey all of MHSL’s rules and codes of conduct as stated in MHSL Policies and Procedures in sections 35 and 36 posted on mhsl.org under Documents/League. 

  • As a parent, I will set the right example for our children by demonstrating sportsmanship and showing respect and common courtesy at all times to all swimmers, competitors, other parents, officials, volunteers and coaches at all times.

  • As a parent, I understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed towards swimmers, competitors, other parents, officials, volunteers or coaches will not be tolerated.

  • As a parent, I will respect the integrity of the Officials.

  • As a parent, I will direct any concerns first to my team’s Parent Delegate or designee; then, if not satisfied, to your team’s designee on your team’s Board.

I understand that if my swimmer or I violate this code of conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action determined by my coaches, the swim team’s Board of Directors and/or by the League as stated in MHSL Policies and Procedures in sections 35 and 36 posted on mhsl.org under Documents/League.
