Parents’ Code of Ethics

The Holy Spirit Athletic Program exists, in part, to promote positive, Christian values and team play. The athletic program also is intended to promote competition and fair play in a safe environment.

All parents need to help our athletes to learn to enjoy sports, to treat all participants, opponents, officials and fans with dignity and respect, to uphold the authority of coaches and officials, and to help develop good sportsmanship and desire to strive for success.

Parents need to understand that by choosing to participate in Holy Spirit Athletics, they are delegating supervisory authority for their child and themselves to the coach during practices and games. Please limit any comments about team to positive and encouraging comments.

Uncivilized, unchristian behavior, such as ranting at game officials, players, coaches and/or other parents and spectators, will not be tolerated. Such behavior could lead to a ban from games and/or practices. As a last resort, such behavior could result in the disqualification of the participant from the team.
