CAPTAIN’S PLEDGE

I realize being selected to the position of team captain carries with it more responsibility than being just a team member;

Others in the school and greater community look up to me as a leader and role model.

I will do my best to exemplify the qualities that the Administration, Athletic Department,

Coach and school community expect of me. I pledge to adhere to this code of conduct all year-round.

Code of Conduct

I pledge to:

Ø  Follow the Athletic Training Rules by remaining chemical free (I will not use tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs)

Ø  Conduct myself in a manner consistent with ISPS Expectations for Acceptable Behavior and Citizenship as outlined in the Athletic Handbook

Ø  Earn the respect of my teammates, the school community and the larger ISPS community

Ø  Be a good citizen (I will demonstrate respect, loyalty, cooperation, trustworthiness, selflessness, honesty, compassion and pride in my school and its positive reputation)

Ø  Demonstrate good school behavior (I will be punctual and abide by school rules)

Ø  Demonstrate positive Academic Qualities (I commit to academic progress and my best effort)

Ø  Demonstrate positive Athletic Qualities (I commit myself to good skills, dedication, commitment to the sport, good sportsmanship, hard work, teamwork and communication skills)

Ø  Be willing to act as the liaison between teammates, coaches, director of athletics, and other appropriate school personnel

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 12-MONTH COMMITMENT. Failure to meet

these expectations will result in the immediate removal of your captaincy.

Great Leaders are Builders

“Anyone can tear down in a day or two what it took a builder ten years to do.

It takes a rare individual to build something because it has to be built day after day.”
