University City Sports Association

Student athletes should never do anything that will have an adverse effect on their ability to perform academically or athletically. Participants must never do anything to embarrass or create an unfavorable impression of themselves, team, community, family or school. 

Remember the conduct of all participants is closely observed in many areas of life; on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Take pride in yourself, your team and school. You should always project a positive image and always represent proudly. Winning or losing is not as important as your reaction to outcomes. Your reaction is what people will associate with your character. You should always be gracious in defeat and modest in victory (this includes parents).
