Communication Guidelines • Encourage your son/daughter to address any concerns directly with the coach before you get involved. • If the issue does not get resolved in this manner, or you feel that a matter requires your intervention directly, contact the coach directly. • Avoid discussing a matter before/after a game or practice • If meeting with the coach does not provide a satisfactory resolution, call the Athletic Director to discuss the matter.
Sportsmanship Good sportsmanship is an expectation for players and fans alike. Taunting, booing and the use of inappropriate language will not be tolerated. Please respect the decisions made by game and school officials. Those who violate this code will be asked to leave the stadium. Please cheer for your team, not against the other team. Thank you for supporting Bethel Athletics.
