Representing Minto Memorial High School as a participant or spectator in various activities is a privilege that students, teachers, coaches and other volunteers must accept with a full sense of responsibility.  It must be understood by all that when we represent Minto Memorial High, we are in effect the ambassadors of the school.  The School Administration, teachers, and community expect that the image of Minto Memorial High School is positive and respectful both inside and outside our community.  An image of sportsmanship, respect, responsibility, proper behaviour and a positive attitude reflects standards to be promoted in and out of school.  The image we expect and promote is supported by the following:

The use of profane or vulgar language, verbal outbursts, racial slurs, or any form of derogatory remarks will not be tolerated.

Student-athletes are expected to conduct themselves in a mature and responsible manner at all times, acknowledging that they are fully responsible for their actions.

Athletes are expected to perform to the best of their ability in all practice and game situations, within the context of the rules that govern their sport.  Good sportsmanship shall be demonstrated toward teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, fans and any others associated with a practice, game or tournament. (This is also regulated by NBIAA)

Some levels of the sport have been subjected to an initiation process by forcing new members to perform acts that are offensive, humiliating, unsafe, or embarrassing.  Acts of initiation will not be tolerated at Minto Memorial High School.

Team members should present a neat appearance at all functions pertaining to their activity.  Individual coaches/supervisors should use proper discretion and may choose to establish particular dress codes for various functions. (away games, banquets, provincial championships, etc.)

It is understood that academic responsibilities and school behaviour include attendance, punctuality, cooperation, respect for others, and a genuine effort on all homework, tests, projects and examinations.  If these responsibilities are neglected, a player may have to be temporarily or permanently removed from a team.

Team members are expected to properly care for uniforms and equipment under their care.  School reports may be withheld until all equipment and uniforms are returned.

Smoking/Vaping is detrimental to your ability to perform, and therefore hinders both you and your team, in addition to being harmful to your personal health.   The non-smoking/non-vaping policy at MMHS extends to students involved in our extra-curricular programs.

The use of alcohol or drugs in a non-medical fashion will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and will result in immediate dismissal from the team.  Reinstatement to the team will be at the discretion of the athletic committee and the coach.

Any student not in attendance the day of a game or practice is not eligible to participate in that game or practice.  Any student not in attendance the day following a game is not eligible to play the next game.

Students suspended from school are also restricted from athletic and social functions of the school.  Students will not practice, play games or travel with the team while suspended from school.

Coaches are expected to fairly and consistently administer the foregoing.  All coaches and volunteers working with students must have familiarised themselves and signed that they are aware of the intent and spirit of Policy 701 and have had a Criminal Record Check done by the RCMP.  Any violation of rules previously discussed must be reported to the School Administration as soon as is reasonable (preferably within 24 hours).  Coaches will also need to have the NBIAA Coaching Certification Course and to have this completed before the first practice.  (http://course.nbiaa-asinb.org/)

Team rooms are the responsibility of the users.  These areas must be kept neat, orderly and maintained in good condition.  “Horseplay” or fooling around in team locker/shower areas is not allowed.  Failure to comply with these rules may result in loss of personal privileges for these areas.

Students are not to drive themselves or other students to or from games. Coaches need to monitor this and report to the Administration any findings.
