ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT
NEWFIELD HIGH/MIDDLE SCHOOLS
At Newfield Central School, we believe that interscholastic athletics are a privilege available to all students. We feel that along with this privilege come some very important responsibilities.
Responsibilities of all Newfield student athletes
1. Academic success is more important than athletics and that if I fail or have any incompletes in any subjects, I may be ineligible according to the Athletic Eligibility Policy.
2. To show true sportsmanship whether winning or losing.
3. I represent Newfield both on and off the field; therefore, my conduct will be exemplary both on and off the field.
4. To work cooperatively with the athletic staff and all members of the school community.
5. To be a good school citizen and abide by the rules of the school.
6. To refrain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs while a member of a Newfield athletic program.
7. To be in regular attendance at all practices and contests.
8. To obstain from being involved in criminal activities while a member of a Newfield athletic team.
As with any privilege, I realize that if I don’t fulfill my responsibilities, I will be subject to disciplinary action. This action can vary from a verbal reprimand to dismissal from the team.
I further realize that each individual coach may have a more stringent set of responsibilities and rules, which they wish to enforce and I agree to abide by those rules also.
