- 8. Parent's Code OfConduct The 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 school's 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.

Editor's Notes
- #5 First offense: 8 game suspension/ ½ the season, Second offense: Full-season game-suspension Deserved yellow and red card violations, due to the lack of continuity by referees, a carded player may receive no additional reprimands or may receive a suspension up to 5 games. All student-athletes are expected to keep a “C” or better in all classes. If grades drop below the cut-off, the student-athlete will be asked to improve their grades by getting help during practice and game times, until the grade has reached the “C” level. That player is disallowed to play in any games until the grade has been improved. You are each responsible to check the bulletin board daily You are responsible for apparel checked out to youPlease keep in mind when you use social media, that you are still a representative of our soccer program and Linn-Mar as a whole. While it may not be your intention to speak on behalf of all involved, it can be interpreted that way. A good rule of thumb is not to type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. Please notify the caching staff if you are involved in other activities whether you think they will conflict with Linn-Mar Soccer or not. All significant injuries must be checked and cleared by the trainer, Jill Hendricks, before an athlete can return to participation.
