Code of Conduct

Athletic Event Code of Conduct

The Apostle Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “whether therefore you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Athletics can be used to develop many
positive qualities in athletes, parents, and spectators. We must maintain a Christ-like
testimony while in the midst of competition. The following guidelines have been
developed to help us maintain a godly walk and testimony.
