Sportsmanship We at Linn-Mar want to represent our schooland community in a positive manner, please give the athletes participating your positive encouragement and support. Booing, taunting, or intimidating the officials or opponents is unfriendly and unacceptable.

Sportsmanship The Linn-Mar School Board and state athleticunions have a spectator conduct policy that allows the ejectionof individuals who disrupt school District activities.

Sportsmanship As the years go by, the score of the games become relatively unimportant, but yourconduct remains forever ingrained in the minds of those who were most affected. How will you be remembered?

Parents Code Of ConductThe Iowa Athletic Council believes parents play a vital role in the development student-athletes. We ask that this code of conduct be distributed so parents, players and coaches have an opportunity to read them.• I will encourage good sportsmanship by being a positive role model.• I will try my best to make athletics a positive experience for everyone involved, i.e., participants, coaches, officials, and spectators.• I will insist my player treat other players, coaches, officials, and fans with respect.• I will reinforce the schools drug and alcohol free policies and refrain from use alcohol and other drugs before or during contests.• I will do my best to understand and appreciate the rules of the contest.• I will show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.• I will be a "team" fan, not a "my child" fan.• I will help my child learn that success is measured by the development of skills, not winning or losing.• If I have a concern, I will talk to the coach at the appropriate time and place, i.e., never before, during, or immediately after a contest.• I do my best to remember my ticket to a school athletic event provides me with the privilege of observing the contest, not berating officials, coaches, or players.
