- I will use appropriate language in appropriate tones when interacting with other athletes, coaches, officials, parents, and spectators.
- I will not taunt my opponent or be arrogant or boastful in my celebrations.
- I will arrive on time for all practices, meetings, and contests, with only emergencies, church activities, major family events, and illness being acceptable reasons for tardiness or absence.
- I will communicate with my coaches regarding issues of injury, illness or expected absence before practice either by phone or in person.
- I will communicate to my parents any necessary team information.

- I will not leave the game site without seeking to shake the hand of my opponent and thanking the officials.
- I will be a good steward, being respectful of the property and facilities of our school and any other school I visit. I will be diligent in picking up after myself.
- I will be honest. I will not lie, steal, or cheat.
- I will strive to play safely so that I may avoid causing injury to myself or others.
