(Parents, Family Members, and their Guests)
The essential elements of sportsmanship are: respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The highest potential of an athletic program is achieved when all parties involved reflect these principles. Parents and other spectators should always provide positive support for their child, all players, coaches, officials, school administrators, the athletic program, and WPS Athletic League by demonstrating encouragement, good sportsmanship, and support at every game, practice or other athletic activity/event. Parents shall treat all players, cheerleaders, coaches, fans, officials, and school administrators with respect, regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability. Furthermore, they must respect the officials, coaches, and school administrator’s authority and directions during games and practices.
Parents and other spectators will refrain from the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco products at all times during any athletic competition, home or away. Parents, family members, and their guests should not engage in any kind of negative conduct with officials, coaches, opposing players, or other parents such as booing, taunting, or using profane language and gestures. Parents must not discuss, question, or confront the coaches concerning actions or decisions made before, during, or after any game or practice. Parents who wish to speak with coaches must schedule a meeting with the appropriate party 24 hours after the event. Parents must be encouraging and supportive from the sideline and refrain from coaching or attempting to direct their child in any way. The Athletic Department, School Administrators, and Coaches will always try to be receptive to parental input, questions, and concerns.

In an effort to be a positive example for young people I consent to abide by all rules and code of ethics stated herein. I will be responsible for myself, my family, and any guest who may accompany me. I will demonstrate exemplary character during any and all athletic events and practices.
