“ZERO” Tolerance Parent Contract
Welcome to the Ken-Rock sports program. This program is designed to organize,
teach, develop and promote youth basketball. Ken-Rock basketball strives to be a
character building organization that recognizes the importance of emphasizing good
sportsmanship. With this in mind, we have developed a parent contract to help explain
and clarify some of our team and league expectations, rules, and guidelines directly
related to parent conduct and playing time. This contract will support, but does not
override our team or Ken-Rock rules or regulations. We feel this contract will help
inform everyone, in advance, what is expected. This should make the season go much
smoother and be more rewarding for everyone involved.
PARENT/SPECTATOR CONDUCT: Basketball
Ken-Rock basketball is responsible for the conduct of all fans and players within the
program. Our organization expects nothing but the best from our parents when it
comes time to support the players, including opponents. Failure to do so can damage
the reputation of our basketball program, but more importantly embarrass our families,
2
friends, and the community. Unacceptable conduct can also result in expulsion from the
league. It is also our job as parents to monitor and report any unacceptable behavior
during Ken-Rock basketball events.
Please read the following guidelines and
expectations.
1.
Profanity of any type will not be tolerated at any time.
2.
Verbal threats or physical confrontations of any kind between parents, players,
coaches, officials, or fans (including the opposing coaches, fans, and players) will not
be tolerated at any time or any place
3.
The use of alcohol is prohibited at all Ken-Rock Basketball events
As a Ken-Rock Basketball parent, guardian and spectators, I hereby recognize and fully
understand the contents of this contract. I also understand that this parent contract
covers the entire Ken-Rock Basketball program. I will support the “Zero” tolerance
program at all times and understand that parent conduct is a crucial ingredient to the
success of our program.
Violations of the Ken-Rock Zero Tolerance Policy may
result in suspension for one or more games.
