Code of Conduct

WILDCATS CODE OF CONDUCT
 
Wildcats is committed to the long-term development of youth basketball players as well-rounded athletes and productive and respected members of the community.  Excellent sportsmanship in the form of healthy competition coincides with an overall attitude of community awareness and the desire to be a good citizen.  Therefore, each player is expected to follow the Wildcats Code of Conduct and we ask each parent to help enforce these values.
 
PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT
  • Wildcats players will follow the Club Code of Respect, Integrity and Pride.
  • Wildcats players understand that basketball is a team sport and any absences, whether from practice or games, affects the overall team.  Players unable to attend a practice or game will notify their coach or manager as soon as the coming absence is known.
  • Wildcats players will show respect to the referees.  Players will accept responsibility for all fouls issued.  Players will positively acknowledge the referee’s efforts after a game regardless of the game’s outcome.
  • Wildcats players will show respect to the other team’s players.  Players will not be allowed to taunt an opposing player.
  • Wildcats players will show respect to their teammates, coaches, managers, and parents, including making eye contact when someone is speaking.
  • Wildcats players show integrity by having the strength to avoid drugs, alcohol and tobacco because they recognize the health risks and that they are illegal.
