Quinnipiac University Mission Statement An education at Quinnipiac embodies the University’s commitment to three core values: high-quality academic programs, a student-oriented environment and a strong sense of community. The University prepares undergraduates and graduate students for achievement and leadership in business, communications, health, education, law and the liberal arts and sciences. Quinnipiac University educates students to be valued and contributing members of their communities through a vital, challenging and purposeful educational program.

• offers degree programs centered on effective practice that are strengthened by the integration of liberal education;

• cultivates critical thinking, intellectual integrity, curiosity and creativity in the pursuit of knowledge; • provides a variety of learning and service experiences to facilitate student achievement; • maintains a strong commitment to a diverse and inclusive student body, faculty and staff; • fosters an understanding of and respect for the multiplicity of human perspectives and belief systems; • supports faculty teacher-scholars who are effective teacher and who engage in scholarship with valuable

A student-athlete participating in prohibited gambling activities is committing an NCAA violation and will lose their athletic eligibility.

Coaches - NCAA Compliance The head coach is accountable for all areas of compliance as it relates to their sport. At the beginning of each year, a Compliance Policy and Procedures Manual will be issued to each Head Coach. Interpretations, rules citations and eligibility forms will be enclosed. All coaches (paid or not) are expected to take and pass the NCAA Recruiting Exam each academic year. Coaches will not be issued a contract without a passing grade on the NCAA Recruiting Exam. All questions regarding the eligibility of our student-athletes should be forwarded to Tracey Flynn, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Services. This involves NCAA Squad Lists, Official and Unofficial Visits, Amateurism, NCAA Clearinghouse for freshmen, continuing eligibility for all returning student-athletes, transfer student-athletes, and all eligibility and compliance forms as it relates to Quinnipiac University policies. As well, head coaches are required to record and present to Tracey Flynn your recruiting schedule and your practice schedule before the start of the academic year.

If a coach is ejected from any game that coach must be removed from “site and sound” for the remainder of the game. “Site and Sound” policy is also applicable in cases where additional game suspensions are required. There is an understanding that the on-site administrator should notify the conference office and the institution(s) involved.

Page 23

Coaches - Athletic/Peer Student-Athlete Fraternization It is mandatory that all coaches and staff (paid, GA, volunteer) do NOT: drink, use drugs, or date student-athletes. It is the responsibility of the immediate supervisor of staff (Head Coaches) to inform their staff that this policy exists in and out of season. Any staff member violating this policy will be immediately terminated. It is very important supervisors (Head Coaches) inform all new, volunteer and graduate assistants of this policy. This includes banquets and off-campus awards dinners, tailgates, and off-season gatherings.

Coaches – Student-Athlete Discipline

All head coaches are expected to follow and endorse the Quinnipiac-Conference-NCAA Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct. If a student-athlete violates any state, town, Quinnipiac, conference, or NCAA rules, they will be subject to game and/or practice suspension. Athletic Administrators attend every week meetings to review campus wide student activity that includes alcohol, drugs, assault, behavior and other actions by students. If any of our student-athletes are documented to have broken the law (underage drinking, drugs, assault etc.), they will be issued a game suspension letter by the Head Coach. 1st Offense – One Game Suspension 2nd Offense – Two Game Suspension 3rd Offense – Suspended for remainder of season and termination of scholarship Head Coaches are free to add additional discipline to the department’s policy.

Coaches – Drug Testing The Department of Athletics and Recreation will conduct annual drug testing for all student-athletes. All coaches are expected to endorse this program.

Page 24

Coaches - Social Network and New Media Policy for Student-Athletes

New Media: Public media refers to technologies used to communicate messages and whose mission is to serve or engage a public. Public media domains include print outlets, traditional broadcasts, and digital. When utilizing any public media outlets, student-athletes are expected to conduct themselves responsibly as members of their respective team, the Athletics Department, the University and the community. Social Networks: Social network sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogs, and other new digital platforms facilitate students communicating with other students. Participation in such networks has both positive appeals but potentially negative consequences. It is important that Quinnipiac student-athletes be aware of these consequences and exercise appropriate caution if they choose to participate. Student-athletes are not restricted from using on-line social network sites and digital platforms. However, users must understand that any content they make public via on-line social networks or digital platforms is expected to follow acceptable social behaviors and also to comply with federal government, state of Connecticut, Quinnipiac, NEC/ECAC, and NCAA. Facebook and similar directories are hosted outside the Quinnipiac server. Violations of university policy (e.g., harassing language, university alcohol or drug policy violations, etc.) or evidence of such violations in the content of on-line social networks or digital platforms are subject to investigation and sanction under the University’s Student Code of Conduct, and other University and department policies. They are also subject to the authority of law enforcement agencies. It is the responsibility of the student athlete to be aware of university regulations. Ignorance of these regulations does not excuse student-athletes from compliance.

Page 25

Guidelines for Student-Athletes

The following guidelines are intended to provide the framework for student-athletes to conduct themselves safely and responsibly in an on-line environment. As a student-athlete at Quinnipiac University you should: 1. Be careful with how much and what kind of identifying information you post on on-line social network sites. Virtually anyone with an edu e-mail address can access your page. It is unwise to make available information such as full date of birth, social security number, address, residence hall room number, phone number, cell phone numbers, class schedules, bank account information, or details about your daily routine. All can facilitate identity theft or stalking. Facebook and other sites provide numerous privacy settings for information contained in its pages; use these settings to protect private information. However, once posted, the information becomes the property of the web site. 2. Your site is available to potential current and future employers. You should think about any information you post on Facebook, Twitter, and any other digital media, or similar directories potentially providing an image of you to a prospective employer. The information posted is considered public information. Protect yourself and your team by maintaining a self-image that you can be proud of in years to come. 3. Understand that freedom of speech is not unlimited. The on-line social network sites are NOT a place where you can say and do whatever you want without repercussions. Prohibited Conduct Student-athletes are highly visible representatives of the University and are expected to uphold the values and responsibilities of the University while meeting all requirements set forth by the NEC/ECAC, the NCAA, Quinnipiac University, and the Quinnipiac University intercollegiate athletics program. The Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics prohibits malicious and reckless behavior when utilizing public media outlets. It is important that student-athletes recognize the power of public media domains and the potentially negative image that they can portray about student-athletes, coaches, the athletics program, and the university. Sanctions Any inappropriate activity or language in violation of the above prohibitions, including civil authorities. Sanctions imposed by the Director of Athletics may include, but are not limited to, the following: -Written notification from the Director of Athletics or assignee to the student-athlete outlining the policy and requiring that the unacceptable content be removed or the social network account. -Suspension from all team activities (contests, practices, meetings) -Indefinite suspension from the team. -Dismissal from the team. -Non-renewal of athletic grant-in-aid. Student athletes receiving a computer through our loan program as part of their athletic scholarship should only use this computer resource for the purpose for which it was intended. Users must not intentionally damage the system that is checked out to them. Posting inappropriate content, emails, and images from laptops provided by the University is prohibited.

Page 26

Appeals The appeal process for non-renewal of an athletic grant-in-aid is handled by the QU Office of Financial Assistance, in accordance with NCAA Bylaw 15.3.5.1. Please see appeals process below; Student athletes may appeal a non renewal decision by requesting a hearing before the University’s Financial Aid Appeals Committee. In appealing a decision, student athletes are required to submit a written request within 15 days of the issuance of this letter. The written request must include the following: Name, student identification number, year in school, sport. List the amount of the athletic grant-in-aid during the academic year. Reason(s) student wishes to appeal the Department of Athletics and Recreation’s recommendation. Copies of any relevant documents to have the Financial Aid Appeal committee review. Once a written request has been received in the Financial Aid Office, a hearing will be scheduled on the behalf of the student athlete, who will be notified of the date and time. The Director of Athletics and/or coach will also be notified of the decision to appeal and will be offered the opportunity to appear before the committee. The appeals committee is comprised of members of the University community. Per NCAA rules, no committee member is employed in the Department of Athletics and Recreation. Both the student athlete and the Department of Athletics and Recreation will have a separate opportunity to present respective opinions regarding the cancellation of your award. Within 10 business days, the financial aid appeals committee will issue their decision in writing and inform you and the Department of Athletics and Recreation. The appeals committee’s decision is final. Agreement I understand and agree that I am required to know, understand and follow the standards contained in the Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics Public Media and Social Network Policy for Student-Athletes. In addition, I understand and agree that I am responsible for knowing, understanding, and following the rules, policies, and procedures contained in the complete Quinnipiac University Student Code of Conduct, which can be found at http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x2168.xml. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Signature of Student Athlete Printed Name _______________________________________________________________________________ Sport Date

Coaches – Student-Athlete Affairs (SAA) and “Positive Play Cup”

The Quinnipiac University Positive Play Cup was designed to enhance the development of the university’s student-athletes through competition.

Positive Play Cup, a competitive game played by all varsity sport programs at Quinnipiac University, provides a means by which student-athletes can compete on behalf of their teams for points in different categories that encompass the mission of the NCAA SAA Program. The point categories focus on developing the individual, being an active role model, acting as a team, supporting other athletes, and overall academic achievement. Participation in the competition will reinforce an appreciation of the values and lessons that athletics can provide. Participants will realize the impact that they can have on their school and their community.

Coaches – Student-Athlete Participation Policy

No student is required to participate in one sport in order to participate in a different sport. This does not affect the obligations of a student who is receiving an athletic scholarship in accordance with the terms of the scholarship agreement.

Page 31

Coaches – Roster Changes & Web-Site Displays

Roster sizes are reviewed each year by University officials outside the athletic department. Mark Thompson, Senior Associate Vice President for ....... is charged with communicating with head coaches about team roster sizes annually, reviewing requests from head coach throughout the academic year for additions to a team's roster and monitoring student-athletes' departures from teams. "The Athletic Department's Compliance Office is the sole keeper official team rosters. Team rosters are managed on a daily basis by the Associate Athletics Director based on information sumbitted from head coaches. Team rosters maintained by the Associate Athletics Director are the sole source for filing annual federal government and NCAA reports and surveys. Head Coaches are expected to know who is listed on their official team roster at all time. A student is not a member of an athletic team until their name has been formally submitted (electronically) to the Associate Athletics Director via the "Change In Status" form. Team rosters are maintained via the NCAA Compliance Assistant (CA) software. Head coaches have 24-hour access to this web-based software. One option to review a team's roster is to run a report via NCAA CA known as: COACHES: 2011-2012 Permission To Practice & Compete Authorization List For Team. Head coaches are expected to notify the Compliance Office if a student name is missing from their team's report or a student-athlete has left the team but whose name is still listed as an active team member. The assistant athletic director for compliance and the assistant athletics director for academic support do not have responsibility for maintaining team roster status. A requests from any of the various offices within the Athletics Department (i.e. academic support, athletic training, equipment room, sports information, and strength and conditioning) for a team list run the risk of for obtaining inaccurate information in the event that a coach has neglected to formally submit a request to Compliance Office to have a student added to the official team roster. Team roster reports listed on the website www.quinnipiacbobcats.com are complied and maintained by the sports information staff in consultation with the Compliance Office. The sports information staff will not add a student's name or remove a student-athlete's name from the website's team roster unless informed in writing from the Compliance Office. The associate athletics director electronically notifies nearly a dozen University staff members when changes are made to a team's roster. No Rosters will be displayed on the Athletics web-site until the NCAA Eligibility and Squad List has been approved and signed by the compliance staff. This usually occurs prior to the first date of competition.

Strength & Conditioning

Strength and Conditioning Mission Statement: The mission of the Quinnipiac Strength and Conditioning Department is to reduce the chance of injury, optimize each student-athlete’s physical potential, while fostering an educational atmosphere. Comprehensive strength and conditioning programs are designed and implemented by the Strength and Conditioning staff in a safe, driven, positive and disciplined environment. What is the Role of the Strength and Conditioning Staff? The Strength and Conditioning program is an integral part of a student-athlete’s collegiate experience. Not only is the staff responsible for physical training, but also to teach the student-athlete about developing a strong work ethic through physical and mental training. Training programs focus on the relevant parameters of performance for each sport. Most programs address flexibility, strength, movement skills, body composition and sport-specific conditioning. Regular individual and team performance assessments are conducted during the year to monitor progress. The Strength and Conditioning staff works closely with the Sports Medicine staff. When injuries occur, the two programs work closely to provide the best rehabilitation program possible. **The Director of Sports Medicine must clear all injured athletes before they are permitted to return to full participation. Strength and Conditioning Policies and Procedures **Sport coaches must demonstrate a commitment to the strength and conditioning programs policies. This will allow us to accommodate the needs of all committed teams more effectively Coaches must hold their student-athletes accountable for attendance. Absolutely no excuses (school work, friends in town, concert, etc.). Workout attendance must be given the same priority as practice attendance. Student-athletes must work out on their assigned days at their assigned times (unless prior arrangements have been made with the Strength and Conditioning staff). The strength and conditioning staff will work in conjunction with the Head Coach to decide to upon the training plan that will be implemented. The strength and conditioning staff will work in conjunction with the Head Coach to determine the training schedule and to schedule training times for facilities. The Head Coach must communicate with the strength and conditioning staff of any changes to schedules. If a team is unable to keep its commitment, the team will lose its strength and conditioning privileges. Strength and Conditioning Team Rules Student-athletes must be on time for team workouts Student-athletes are required to fill out attendance book and workout sheets

Page 45

No non-prescribed workouts will be permitted unless decided upon by the strength and conditioning coach. You cannot do your own workout.

Work Environment Student-athletes who use the varsity weight room must use their time productively. Workout sessions provide an opportunity to improve and should be taken seriously. It is important to arrive on time and train with a positive attitude. At the same time, it is hoped that all student-athletes will feel comfortable in the training environment provided and that workouts will be enjoyable. Safety Safety in the weight room requires that student-athletes follow the rules that have been established. Additionally, student-athletes must always be aware of people around them when performing any exercise. The weight room is a place where athletes have the opportunity to become stronger and more injury resistant. Injuries should not occur here! If an injury should occur during weight training, the Strength and Conditioning staff must be notified. An Athletic Trainer will then be called to evaluate the injury and provide the appropriate treatment.

Policy on Insurance Coverage for Student-Athletes • INSURANCE  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ALL  FULL-­‐TIME  QUINNIPIAC  UNIVERISTY  STUDENTS  

Quinnipiac University REQUIRES all students to have a personal medical insurance policy. All students are required to go login to the website www.gallagherkoster.com/schools/quinnipiac/and complete all information.

• If a student does not have a personal medical insurance policy, the student will have the opportunity to enroll in the

United Health Care insurance program at www.gallagherkoster.com/schools/quinnipiac/. The cost of the policy, $1,350, will automatically be added to the student’s Quinnipiac school bill.

• The United Health Care Group insurance program meets the requirement for student-athletes who must purchase

their own personal medical insurance policy.

• A student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy must be valid prior to the day the student-athlete begins participating in any required athletically-related activities (e.g. practice, strength and conditioning activities, captains’ practices, etc.). The medical insurance policy must cover any claims made while attending school in Connecticut and practicing and competing as a student-athlete.

• Student-athletes are required to maintain their personal medical insurance policy throughout the academic year as

well as any time a team’s season extends beyond the academic year. A student-athlete is required to immediately inform the Sports Medicine staff of any change in their personal, medical insurance coverage. Failure to do so could result in the student-athlete being financially responsible for costs incurred as a result of an athletically related injury.

• A student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy is required to cover activities and injuries relating to intercollegiate athletics participation. If the personal medical insurance policy does not cover activities and injuries related to intercollegiate athletics participation, the student-athlete is required to obtain another policy that will cover such activities.

• Any injury sustained while participating in intercollegiate athletics will first be the responsibility of the student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy. The university will only cover actual expenses related to the claim and will not reimburse for initial individual plan deductibles.

• Quinnipiac University has a medical insurance policy which serves as a secondary medical insurance policy for its’

student-athletes. This insurance policy will help with costs not covered by the student-athlete’s primary medical insurance policy. This secondary insurance is not a substitute for a student-athlete having coverage from primary, personal medical insurance coverage Quinnipiac University’s secondary insurance policy coverage will only be valid to help cover costs due to injuries directly caused by participation in intercollegiate athletics. Sickness and/or injury that occur in the dorm are examples of incidents that would not be covered by the University’s secondary policy.

• NCAA rules prohibit colleges and universities from paying any medical costs for an injury or illness not directly

caused by participation in intercollegiate athletics. It is for this reason student-athletes are required to have their own personal medical insurance coverage. Quinnip iac Univer s i t y s t rong ly r e commends s tudent -a th l e t e s contac t the i r curr en t med i ca l insurance carr i e r to v er i f y that the i r po l i c y w i l l cover non-emergency a th l e t i c in jur i e s and genera l i l lnes s whi l e a t t end ing a co l l e g e in the s ta t e o f Connec t i cu t .

• A student-athlete who seeks consultations outside the Quinnipiac Department of Athletics team physician, without prior communication with the Quinnipiac Athletic Training Department, will do so at their own expense. Quinnipiac will not pay for any subsequent medical visits that are sought by the student-athlete.

• A few student-athletes who do not have primary medical insurance coverage may qualify to have the

Department of Athletics purchase insurance on their behalf, in accordance with NCAA rules. If you indicated below that you do not have a primary medical insurance policy which would cover you for your participation in intercollegiate athletics while attending school in Connecticut please read the next page of this document

Page 59

• All secondary insurance claims and related paperwork should be directed to Athletic Training; GM-ATH; ATTN: Athletic Training; 275 Mount Carmel Ave; Hamden, CT 06518; or at 203-582-8408.

If a student-athlete meets the following criteria, the Department of Athletics will consider purchasing a medical insurance policy on your behalf.

• Must be in good standing with his/her team. (Head Coach confirms) • Must be awarded athletics scholarship for the current year. (Compliance Office confirms) • Must be a Pell Grant recipient (awarded to domestic students only) or is an international • student-athlete. (Compliance Office confirms) • Must be in good academic standing (Athletic – Academic Support Office confirms)

A student-athlete and his/her parent or legal guardian must know that if the Department of Athletics approves the purchase of a Gallagher/Koster Group insurance policy, this coverage is only for the injures and treatment of the injures sustained while participating in any required athletically-related activities (e.g. practice, strength and conditioning activities, captains’ practices, etc.) while attending Quinnipiac University. Costs associated with a sickness and/or an injury that occurs in the dorm are examples of incidents, if not covered by the purchased Gallagher/Koster Insurance, are the responsibility of the student-athlete and his or her family. I, (print name) ______________________________________, wish to be considered for the purchase of a medical insurance policy on my behalf so that I may participate in intercollegiate athletics. I understand that if the policy is purchased for me, it is intended to only cover the injures and treatment of the injuries sustained while participating in any required athletically related activities (e.g. practice, strength and conditioning activities, captains’ practices) while attending Quinnipiac University.

Student-Athlete - Academic Policies & Support (from Student-Athlete Handbook)

The primary goals of the Academic Support Office are to assist student-athletes in their efforts to complete their degree requirements and develop the skills necessary to be successful in their future endeavors. Programs and services include:

Power Hours program: monitored study sessions The Higher Learning Program: one-on-one academic coaching sessions Positive Play course for freshmen Referrals to The Learning Center for tutorial services Academic Enhancement Room The Academic Equipment Loan Program

Student-Athlete - Class Absence Policy

Class attendance is a student-athlete’s first priority. Quinnipiac University adheres to the NCAA rules that prohibit student-athletes from missing class due to conflicts with a team’s practice. NCAA rules do permit student-athletes to miss class to participate in a home or away contest. During the season of competition, it is likely that class absences will occur. Every attempt is made to keep missed classes to a minimum. Nevertheless, it is Quinnipiac academic policy that should a class or test be missed for in-season athletic competition, the student be given the chance to make up the work provided he/she notifies the professor in advance and makes appropriate arrangements. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to communicate with their professors PRIOR to a class being missed.

Page 61

Student-athletes are expected to personally deliver the missed class form letter signed by Lyneene Richardson and Sean Duffy to each professor at the beginning of the semester. The student-athlete’s head coach will provide their team members with the letter detailing departure times of travel dates associated with away games and any home competition conflicts. Arrangements for make-up exams and quizzes MUST be handled before traveling to an athletic event, not after returning from the trip. In the event that an affiliated Conference or NCAA Championship occurs during final exam time, the student-athlete is required to contact the appropriate faculty member at least two weeks before the scheduled examination or when the conflict is recognized. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss rescheduling the exam. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to ensure that he/she does not schedule a class that will regularly conflict with practice times or frequent travel days. It is important for each student-athlete to meet with his or her instructors as early in the semester as possible in order to assess whether your missed class time will be a problem. If a problem does arise with any of these situations, contact Sean Duffy, the NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) at 582-8324. Student-athletes may jeopardize their participation in the Quinnipiac University athletic program by failing to comply with the above procedures.

Page 62

Student-Athlete - Book Scholarship Policy All student-athletes that are receiving book awards must first meet with The Associate Athletic Director for Academic Support, to receive a Permission for Book Purchase Form (this form will be available the first day of classes). 1. The form signed by the Associate Athletic Director, with current class schedule attached, will then go to the bookstore. Only required books may be purchased with this form. Purchase of optional study guides is the responsibility of the student-athlete. 2. Books may be purchased during the first 2 weeks of class. Books must be returned to Lyneene Richardson by the last day of finals. Student-athletes that fail to return their textbooks at the end of each semester forfeit their opportunity to receive a book award for the following semester.

Student-Athlete - Community Relations Quinnipiac’s "Positive Play" program includes an enthusiastic commitment to community relations. You and your team will be asked to be part of special community events including the Freshman Move-In Day, Reading to Children, as well as many team and individual programs for the youth, senior citizens, sick and others in our community.

Student-Athlete - Advisory Committee (SAAC)

During the 2011-2012 year, two representatives from each team will be nominated to be a part of SAAC which will meet with the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance & Student Services and the Assistant Athletic Director for Academic Coordinator once a month to discuss important issues regarding your teams and programs.

Student-Athlete – Counseling 1. Academic: The Academic Support Staff acts as unofficial academic advisors for all student-athletes. The academic staff within the program cannot sign course cards, drop/add slips, or section change slips. Those procedures must be administered by the various academic divisions through official academic advisors. The Academic Support Staff may assist students in the scheduling of courses and with their degree plans to ensure compliance with satisfactory progress rules, as well as advancement toward graduation. a. Class Withdrawal The NCAA requires that all student-athletes maintain fulltime enrollment of 12 credits per semester in order to practice and compete. All student-athletes must meet with the Director of Academic Support to complete an Athletic Class Withdrawal Form. At this time, the Director will discuss possible eligibility ramifications from dropping a course. This form must accompany the University’s required Course Withdrawal Form, which the student submits, to the Registrar’s office. Personal−Referral: The Academic Support Staff members are available to assist with a student-athlete's non-academic problems. Any student-athlete experiencing difficulties beyond the expertise of the department staff will be referred to more appropriate campus or outside resources.

Student-Athlete – Academic Assistance

Applications are available from the Director of Academic Support--student-Athlete – Quinnipiac Policies.

Student-Athlete - Discipline Policy

The Quinnipiac University Student-Athlete Awareness Program known as "Positive Play” stipulates an acceptable code of behavior by our student-athletes. Any student-athlete involved in an unacceptable incident (on or off campus) that has been documented by campus, city, or state police, game officials, or University personnel, may expect immediate disciplinary action (game suspension) by the Department of Athletics and Recreation.

Sportsmanship Statement

Based on the NEC’s mission statement and purpose, our goal is to enhance the educational opportunities for young men and women while providing an environment in which leadership, physical fitness, personal growth, sportsmanship and fair play are encouraged. The conference strives to ensure that high standards of scholarship and sportsmanship are adhered to by member institutions. The conference shall require commitment to its adopted standards and to those standards set forth in the respective playing rules. The responsibility to demonstrate and develop good character and sportsmanship should never be subordinated to the desire to win. The vital lessons and intrinsic value of sports are acquired through the competition and honorable pursuit of victory, rather than the outcome itself. Devotion to these principles maximizes the benefits and enjoyment of intercollegiate competition for all participants, coaches, officials and spectators. The coach’s behavior influences that of the student-athletes and, frequently the fans. Coaches bear the responsibility of teaching the value of sporting conduct in both word and deed to their student-athletes. The use of foul or vulgar language is inconsistent with this responsibility, and is therefore strongly discouraged on the part of coaches and student-athletes alike. The coach has a responsibility to educate the athletes concerning their obligations to the coach, the institution to whom they represent, intercollegiate athletics and themselves. Coaches and student-athletes should exercise self-control with game officials during competition and shall refrain from expressing displeasure with an official’s performance. All coaches are expected to support and sustain the NEC Sportsmanship Statement and its principles. The Commissioner will handle all sportsmanship issues that are reported to the conference office. Violations of the NEC sportsmanship policy may result in receipt of a letter of reprimand, game suspensions, and/or other sanctions deemed appropriate by the Commissioner. This form must be signed by the head coach after reviewing the aforementioned principles with their respective student-athletes.
