At St. Mary, athletics isn’t just about competition—it’s about character, community, and Christ-centered development. As parents and guardians, you play a vital role in shaping this experience. Your encouragement, sportsmanship, and involvement set the tone for your child’s journey both on and off the field.

Start Here: Know Before You Go
To ensure your child—and you—get the most out of their athletic experience, please review the following:
Sport Parent Code of Conduct
Your involvement as a parent or guardian extends far beyond driving to practices and attending games. You are a cornerstone of our athletic culture. The Sport Parent Code of Conduct outlines our shared expectations around communication, discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Whether your child is in their first year of sports or a returning athlete, this document helps set a foundation of trust and collaboration between families, coaches, and student-athletes. It also highlights consequences for conduct that could affect a student’s or family’s ability to participate.
​
As a parent or guardian of a student-athlete participating in a St. Mary athletic program, I agree to:
-
Support my child’s participation in a positive and encouraging manner.
-
Respect coaches, officials, players, and other parents at all times.
-
Ensure my child attends practices and games on time and prepared.
-
Communicate responsibly and respectfully with coaches and team leaders.
-
Refrain from negative comments or gestures toward players, coaches, officials, or other spectators.

Model good sportsmanship for my child by remaining calm, respectful, and supportive during competitions.

Uphold the mission of St. Mary Athletics, which promotes character, community, and Christ-centered development.
​
By signing this Code of Conduct, I understand that failure to uphold these standards may result in disciplinary actions, including being asked not to attend games or events.
Spectator Code of Conduct & Responsibilities
We believe every game is an opportunity not just for our athletes to compete—but for our entire community to show what it means to lead with faith, dignity, and respect. The Spectator Code of Conduct & Responsibilities outlines the standards of behavior we expect from all fans, family members, and guests at athletic events. From cheering respectfully to modeling Christ-like conduct in the face of adversity, your role as a spectator shapes the environment our students experience. Please review this document carefully and help us foster a culture where our values are visible from the bleachers to the sidelines.
The following expectations have been established by the St. Mary Athletic Association. These expectations apply to all spectators—parents, guardians, grandparents, siblings, friends, or others—who attend a St. Mary athletic event.
