It is expected that players, coaches and parents act in accordance to the teaching of our faith. BE RESPECTFUL to our children, coaches, opposing players, opposing coaches and referees. If a problem occurs, understand that the playing field is not the place to resolve it. If you disagree with a referee, understand that some of these referees are volunteers. Also remember, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. Do not hassle or chastise a referee for a “bad" call. After the game, contact the coach and/or AD to make time to discuss your concern. Any concerns that you feel need to be addressed can be sent to the AD in the school office or emailed.
