INFANT
JESUS BASKETBALL CODE OF CONDUCT
Our Board is committed to provide a safe and orderly
environment where our players can learn and have fun. To achieve this goal, all
program members and visitors must act responsibly. To ensure we meet our
commitment to school district rules, we will have a zero-tolerance policy,
taking action against those who spoil it for the vast majority who follow our
rules. Infant Jesus has long-standing expectations for conduct that reflect
qualities of character: civility, decency, good citizenship, respect, tolerance,
and integrity. The Code of Conduct (“Code”) defines these expectations,
consequences for unacceptable behavior, and processes for prompt and fair
discipline. The Code applies to all players, coaches, staff, parents, and
visitors on school property or at other Infant Jesus program locations. The
Board is authorized to adopt regulations and procedures for conduct and
discipline, provided they are not inconsistent with the Code.
All persons at Infant Jesus Basketball
practices, games and other functions shall conduct themselves in a respectful,
orderly way.
All persons at Infant Jesus Basketball
practices, games and other functions shall not:
-
Purposely injure or threaten to injure another
-
Purposely damage or destroy property, or
create graffiti
-
Disrupt the orderly conduct of practices,
games or other events
-
Distribute or wear materials that are obscene,
advocate illegal action, appear libelous, obstruct the rights of others, or
disrupt the program.

Intimidate, harass, or discriminate against
any person on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age,

Enter any portion of school premises other
than the gym or bathroom facilities

Violate traffic, parking, or other vehicle
laws, regulations or restrictions

Bring any food or beverages into schools

tops; e.g. sports bottles
-
Loiter on or about school property after the
IJ activity is finished
-
Refuse to comply with a reasonable order of an
identifiable school official performing his or her duty (this includes all
school staff such as custodians and hall monitors provided by IJ)
-
Smoke anywhere on school property (that means
you must leave the property, not just the building.
-
Violate
any New York State or federal statute, local ordinance, or Board policy
Penalties--The
following penalties shall be imposed if the above rules of public conduct are
violated:
-
The violator (player, coach, parent, or other
spectator) shall be directed to leave school premises immediately
-
The violator shall be subject to discipline as
the facts may warrant, consistent with the Infant Jesus By-Laws
Parents should stay with their children.
Coaches are not baby-sitters! If you are dropping your child off (this
should be the exception, not the rule) or picking up your child, please make
sure the Coach, Assistant Coach, or Facility Monitor is cognizant of your
child's whereabouts so that ALL children are properly accounted for, WITHOUT
QUESTION. Particularly during the arrival and departure times when other teams
are filtering in, it becomes increasingly difficult for a Coach to keep track of
all the players. If you are able to stay with us, PLEASE help your Coaches keep
track of our eager beavers, particularly during water breaks and halftimes. PLEASE HELP OUT!!
