I agree to practice and promote good sportsmanship. I also agree that if I fail to abide by the following guidelines and goals, I will be subject to disciplinary action that could include, but not limited to: verbal warning by school personnel, written warning, removal and/or suspension from game(s), or legal prosecution or action with record of incident kept on file.
- I will learn and understand the rules of the game and the policies of the conference and WIAA.
- I will be responsible for my actions and the actions of my guests as a positive role model for my student-athlete and will encourage sportsmanship by showing respect, courtesy and positive support for players, coaches, officials and all other spectators.
- I will not engage in any unsportsmanlike actions directed at any official, coach, player or other spectators to include booing, taunting, or using profane or rude language or gestures.
- I will discourage any behaviors or actions that would endanger the health of all spectators and athletes.
- I will teach my child to play within the rules and resolve conflicts without resorting to violence or hostility. In addition, I will demand that he/she treat other players, coaches and officials with respect.
- I will teach my child to perform to the best of his/her ability and, although winning is rewarding, it is not more important than the effort extended or the maintaining of one’s dignity.
- I will compliment my child for playing fair and to the best of his/her ability.
- I will not ridicule or yell at my child or other members of the team for making a mistake or losing a competition.
- I will put what is best for the athletes and team above my personal desires for my child to gain acclaim or win.

- I will demand an educational sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol and will refrain from their use at all school events.
In addition, I will accept and abide by the enforcement of all penalties for school athletic code violations imposed on my son/daughter for their failure to abide by the code.
