ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION

13 tips for creating a student-athlete code of conduct
By Dr. David Hoch, retired CMAA

t is fairly common for high school athletic programs
to have codes of conduct for their student-athletes.
These documents detail the standards that athletes are
expected to meet and guide their deportment to maintain
their place on a team.
In part, codes of conduct stem from two philosophical
foundations. First, participating in athletics, unlike basic
education, is not a right. It is a privilege, and the courts
have continuously upheld and maintained this stance.
This means that student-athletes have to meet certain
standards to play.
In addition, the education-based athletics concept
expects that student-athletes grow and develop, and this
involves life-long values and qualities. These elements
would typically include integrity, ethics, serving as a role
model, and many others. Quite often, these are some of the
aspects that are rightfully included in documents detailing
expected standards for athletes.
Where do you start to put together your code of
conduct? Check with your colleagues and see what they
include in their code to get ideas. Please avoid, however,
merely deleting their school's name and inserting yours.

who created this document, taking the complete set of
expectations, or even specific parts of it, would constitute
plagiarism.
Some expectations are relatively standard and would be
found in many codes of conduct. In most cases, you would
come across many of the following. Student-athletes would
be expected to:
* Attend and participate in classroom activities,
complete assignments, and maintain good academic
standing in all of their courses. In addition, studentathletes
should be on time, cooperate, and not be a
destructive influence in class.
* Always display good sportsmanship and serve as a
positive ambassador for his or her team, program,
and school. This would include being respectful to
the officials, coaches, and opponents.
* Be a good, supportive teammate. This would include
encouraging and helping other athletes during
practice sessions and games. Even if a student8
