Athletic Code of Conduct








General Information

Participation Policy

Saint Brendan School offers several activities in which the students may participate if they meet the academic and physical requirements. Some sports activities are cheerleading, basketball, golf, tennis, volleyball. We do not intend to place total emphasis on these activities, and we ask you to follow the same practice.

Parental permission is required for students who participate in these programs. A student who participates in any school or sport activity must maintain passing grades in all subject areas and also in conduct. Students who do not maintain a 2.0 may not participate in the activity until progress reports are sent. Students who participate in sports activities must maintain a yearly physical examination by a physician. Students who are absent from school may not participate or be present at any activity after school or be present on school property. Students who miss excessive amounts of practice without permission may not be able to participate in games.

Role of Parents

The parents of students representing Saint Brendan School as members of our athletic teams (sports teams and cheerleaders) are ultimately responsible for their athlete's behavior both on and off the court and playing field.

• Parents should conduct themselves in a manner consistent with our shared Christian values as positive role models for their children by showing respect for the coach, players, game officials and opposing coaches, players and spectators in a manner that dignifies the individual, the game, the sport, and our school.
• Parents should make sure that their athlete is in good health and maintains the required academic and conduct grades.
• Parents should attend parent team meetings.
