CODE OF CONDUCT
Expectations
The student/athlete can expect that each coach will model the
Ursuline core values and philosophy of St. Ursula Academy
in interacting with all athletes.
A. It is reasonable to expect the coach to inform all athletes:
1. When and where practices and contests are held.
2. About his/her coaching philosophy.
3. About the expectations he/she has for all athletes on
the squad.
4. What is required to be a part of the team, i.e., fees,
special equipment, off season conditioning, lettering
requirements, etc.
5. Whenever any disciplinary action results in a player
being denied participation in a practice or contest.
B. The school expects parents to be partners with the
coaches and the athletic department in assuring that the
philosophy of St. Ursula Academy is modeled in all
endeavors to help our young athletes.
1. Parents and students will be knowledgeable of the
Student/Parent handbook regarding all athletic
policies.
2. Parents and students are reminded the commitment to
a team means attendance is mandatory for all
practices, scrimmages and games. If you believe this
will be a problem, please do not plan to attend try-
outs.
3. Typical concerns of parents that are appropriate to
discuss with a coach are:
a. Any unhealthy mental or physical strain
detected in the athlete at home (especially
when it affects her academic performance).
b. How parents and guardians can contribute to
their student/athlete’s skill improvement and
development.
c. Any dramatic changes detected in an athlete’s
behavior.
