Introduction The focus of Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) athletics is to create the Catholic conditions that support the development and well-being of the whole child. It continues to be a system responsibility among all stakeholders to ensure that character development as referenced in our Catholic virtues remains a primary focus for all participants. The committee representing DPCDSB Principals received the DPCDSB Executive Council's approval and support to move forward with the development of the Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline and support the inclusion of guiding principles in the Guideline in the local Catholic School Learning Plans (CSLP) and align with principles of school Pastoral Plans and virtues. Context Athletics has become an important and powerful force in the world. Aided by technology, athletes have achieved unprecedented fame, salaries and pop power. The growth in athletics globally has drawn the attention of both the Vatican and the United Nations. In 2004 Pope John Paul II established a Vatican Office committed to developing values in sports. This is recognition of the role sports can play in bringing people together and developing the human person. “For the world of sport still has its sound environments and still its generous protagonists who strive to reclaim the ideal of sport as a real school of humanity, education, and virtue. It also continues to grow in its popularity and its unique capacity to unite the entire planet around a big event. As Pope Benedict XVI recalled last fall, sport is a discipline that “when practiced with respect for the rules, can become an educational instrument and a means of transmitting important human and spiritual values.” (Wednesday General Audience, 21 September 2005). Pope Francis stated in 2014: “Sports have important educational value because they contribute to personal growth, highlight the harmony of body and spirit, foster social development and promote the values of "solidarity, loyalty and respect." (Pope Francis 2014) “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 2 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 The United Nations established 2005 as an International Year of Sport. It was their belief that sports can be used as a vehicle to meet their Millennium Development Goals and promote Education. “Sport and physical education teach essential values and life skills including self-confidence, teamwork, communication, inclusion, discipline, respect and fair play. Sport and physical education also have psychological benefits such as reducing depression and improving concentration. Sport, physical education, play and recreation have a positive impact on child education. Physical education typically improves a child’s ability to learn, increases concentration, attendance and overall achievement. Young people learn better when they are having fun and are being active. Within schools, physical education is an integral component of quality education.” (United Nations: International Year of Sport and Physical Education 2005: www.un.org/sport2005) In DPCDSB sports programs have grown exponentially and continue to play an important role in our Catholic education system. In this light, it is incumbent that we review, assess and develop our praxis, in order to maximize the benefits of our efforts. Focus The DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline is designed to build capacity among system partners with the following goals; 1. To establish a guideline in which school sports would operate. 2. To clarify alignment with the DPCDSB System Direction and the Catholic Board Learning Plan. 3. Assist in developing the skill set of system partners and stakeholders in creating a culture that aligns to DPCDSB System Direction and the Catholic Board Learning Plan. 4. To provide clear expectations for all stakeholders to assist administrators, coaches, convenors and managers in resolving any infractions occurred. 5. To continue to focus on student success in areas such as student engagement and character/virtues formation opportunities for all students and spectators. 6. To further align the principles referenced in the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline with the foundational principles of the Catholic Board Learning Plan, the Catholic School Learning Plan and Pastoral Plans. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 3 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 The DPCDSB Principles of Athletic Virtues & Ethical Conduct Purpose: Athletic virtues and ethical conduct is a core principle within the DPCDSB community. This is foundational in support of healthy and positive interaction among all participants in athletic events. It will serve as a frame of reference in all aspects to promote character formation as found in our Catholic virtues. Background: The DPCDSB Committee on Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct embarked on an initiative to increase awareness and commitment to athletic virtues and ethical conduct across the Board. The committee collected stakeholder feedback that assisted in shaping the first Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline in 2012. In response to the Ministry PPM 158, the committee reassembled and revised aspects of the guideline. The most significant change was in the document’s title to align with a more inclusive learning environment. The name was changed to the “DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline: A Sense of Celebration”. The title is rooted in Pope Francis’ 2014 comment on sports in today’s world. All sports programs in DPCDSB will promote the character/virtues development of participants in alignment with the: 1. Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations 2. DPCDSB System Direction 3. Catholic Board Learning Plan 4. Catholic School Learning Plan and Pastoral Plan 5. Catholic Board Equity, Diversity and Inclusive Education Plan 6. Catholic Board Corporate Plan 7. Catholic Virtues 8. Ministry PPM 158 “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 4 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 It is an expectation that students, coaches, administrators, spectators and all other partners associated with these sports programs and events will be guided by our Catholic Virtues. respect fairness conscience hope self-control kindness empathy love acceptance faith Catholic Virtues will be manifested not only in athletic participation but also in the broad spectrum of activities surrounding all sports programs. It is an expectation that each DPCDSB school: a) Implement the “DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline: A Sense of Celebration”, for appropriate conduct in all sports programs consistent with “a Catholic approach to fair and inclusive play and supportive participation for athletes, coaches, spectators and the community” (DPCDSB System Direction 2010-2013). b) Ongoing communication to all stakeholders regarding the expectations outlined in the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 5 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 The DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline Expectations The DPCDSB is committed to establishing athletic virtues and developing healthy environments for competition. DPCDSB continues to lead the way in enhancing the practice of alignment between what is acceptable in the classroom with what is occurring in all athletic competitions. DPCDSB will strive to create athletic environments that are consistent with the expectations and virtues of our Catholic system. Catholic education through athletics teaches our youth and our communities to conduct themselves with athletic virtues and respect for opponents within our Catholic context. In an effort to achieve this goal, DPCDSB has developed and revised this guideline which outlines the expectations of the various groups and individuals associated with all athletic programs. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 5 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Administration Expectations To create a safe, caring and inclusive environment for teams, officials, spectators and parents. Ensure all eligibility and league processes are followed. The administration will review all league schedules and approve competition dates and start times as appropriate per panel. Ensure there are no athletic competitions during Holy Week. Ensure that the behavioural expectations outlined in the Catholic Code of Conduct and school protocols and responses to unethical conduct are made clear to all athletes. Ensure all coaches acknowledge and understand the importance of the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline and adhere to the expectations outlined. Administration is responsible to monitor adherence to the Guideline and have courageous conversations with individual stakeholders who are in violation of the expectations outlined in the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Guideline and possibly withdraw those individuals who demonstrate a lack of commitment to the Guideline. The Administrator will ensure communication of the Guideline expectations through newsletters, school websites and posted at events where possible. It is incumbent upon the Principal to select an individual from among self-identified candidates to the voluntary position of School Athletic Facilitator (SAF) / School Athletic Rep. It is the responsibility of the administration to review principles found in the Guideline through a local school-based Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Advisory Group in alignment with the Catholic Community of Culture and Caring Action team as appropriate per panel. It is incumbent upon the Principal to ensure that all indoor and outdoor athletic facilities have a symbol of our faith visibly present in a prominent place. It is the responsibility of the board to ensure that the Church’s liturgical year be marked by all teams. Teams that are away for a weekend tournament will have the opportunity to attend mass. Athletic competitions are not be scheduled on Holy Days of Obligation. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 6 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Secondary School Athletic Facilitator (SAF) Expectations Candidates will self-identify for the position and the Principal will make a selection from these individuals. It is understood that the School Athletic Facilitator (SAF) is a volunteer position and not in the job description of a Physical Education Department Head. To assist in ensuring sports programs are adhering to the expectations as outlined in the Guideline. To ensure a transparent and open communication between coaches, the SAF/SAR, physical education department head and administration. The SAF or designate is to publicly welcome visiting teams and coaches and ensure handshakes occur after competition. To ensure the visiting coach is aware of the host school expectations and routines including the reading of the “DPCDSB Athletic Virtues Prayer” before competition between DPCDSB teams. To provide an opportunity for the visiting coach(s) to address any concerns, indicate the location of the game managers in the gym or field and identify the school staff supervisors present for the competition. Candidates will self-identify for the position and the Principal will make a selection from these individuals. It is understood that the School Athletic Representative is a volunteer position. To create a process for visiting fans, parents and participants to ensure appropriate communication regarding expectations has occurred between the schools involved.

The SAF should review periodically with staff members, coaches, student-athletes and spirit groups (spirit squads and bands) precisely what is acceptable conduct, as set forth in this document. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 7 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Coach Expectations It is understood that coaching at DPCDSB is a volunteer position. Coaches will model the expectations as outlined in the Guideline. The actions of all Coaches must be founded in courageous leadership where the considerable influence coaches have will be used to teach and enact the high principles of Catholic athletic values. The DPCDSB has benefited from the high calibre of coaches who have risked losing a contest by removing studentathletes who have demonstrated disrespect for their opponents and/or other forms of inappropriate conduct. Coaches are to make athletic virtues and respect a core value of their team and pay special attention to their student-athletes' behaviour. DPCDSB and its coaches are committed to teach messages that are in alignment with creating Catholic conditions for well-being, learning and leading. Continue to empower students to be well rounded individuals and successful in the classroom and outside of athletics in their pursuit of achieving our Catholic Graduate Expectations. Coaches will take every opportunity when addressing the media, spirit groups or other public forums to express the desire for spectators to support their team at home contests and respect visiting teams. Coaches and administrators will stress that the participants in our athletics contests are young people who do not deserve to be mistreated by a hostile crowd and this behaviour does not comply with Catholic values and virtues. Coaches shall acknowledge that they are aware and will comply with the expectations as outlined in the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline as well as the DPCSDB Concussion Guideline. It is understood that in circumstances whereby the Principal will appoint a volunteer community member(s) to assist the teacher head coach, that the community coach be responsible to the principal and adhere to the same expectations as outlined in this document. In all matters of media communication coaches and principals shall adhere to the DPCDSB Communications protocol. It is understood that the coach is aware of the DPCDSB Physical Education Safety Guidelines, DPCDSB Contact Sport Guideline and the DPCDSB Concussion Guideline and GAP policy. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 8 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Student Athlete Expectations Student-athletes at DPCDSB schools are expected to treat opponents respectfully and in compliance with our Catholic virtues. Respect for the game in which the student-athlete participates also demands respect for the opponent, fans, coaches, referees, teaching and non-teaching staff, bus drivers and the environment. Student athletes will understand the following are unacceptable behaviours: taunting, inappropriate language, baiting of opponents and other types of behaviour that contravene our Catholic Code of Conduct. DPCDSB student-athletes must behave as ambassadors of their Catholic schools. Their behaviour is observed by parents and emulated by peers and those who are younger. DPCDSB student-athletes must honour the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing our schools by behaving with dignity and respect on and off the field, regardless of the behaviour of other adolescent athletes. Maintain a high standard of attendance, academic participation and achievement (to the best of the student’s ability) attitude and general behaviour.

Spirit Groups and the staff facilitator must make a special effort to ensure all spectator expectations as set forth in this Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline are adhered to. Spirit Groups at DPCDSB schools are visible representatives of our schools. As such, we place high expectations on them for appropriate behaviour. Cheerleaders, bands, student leadership and other Spirit Groups are admitted to contests at the discretion of our schools to support their teams and assist in creating an enjoyable atmosphere. They are not admitted in order to disrupt or confront the opponent and such behaviour will not be tolerated. Spirit Groups at DPCDSB schools are expected to treat opponents respectfully and in compliance with our Catholic virtues. Spirit Groups will understand the following are unacceptable behaviours: taunting, inappropriate language, baiting of opponents and other types of behaviour that contravene our Catholic virtues. Maintain a high standard of attendance, academic participation and achievement (to the best of the student’s ability) attitude and general behaviour. To wear appropriate school approved uniform and team uniform to events as appropriate. To be present at school and in attendance on the date of an event. To attend practices regularly. Spectator Expectations DPCDSB hopes and believes that the establishment of the principles outlined in this guideline will create an appropriate Catholic conditions that will attract spectators to our events. Spectators are present to enjoy the competition and to support and encourage their teams. Spectators attending games will be reminded of the expectations as outlined in the Board’s Catholic Code of Conduct and Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct guideline. Respect for players, officials and coaches will be emphasized. Spectators are expected to act in an appropriate manner, and respect all opposition, coaches, managers, supervisors, officials, parents and fellow fans. Individuals who attend games and abuse the opposition and officials will be dismissed immediately from athletic events by the school’s supervisors, security or police. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 10 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Parent-Guardian-Immediate Family Expectations Parents: DPCDSB hopes and believes that the establishment of the principles outlined in this guideline will create appropriate Catholic conditions that will attract parents to our events. Parents attending games are to be reminded that all competitions are to be viewed in the context of a Catholic School learning environment for all students. Parents are expected to support their child and the coaching philosophy adopted by the teacher-coach. It is expected that all parents will act in an appropriate manner and respect all coaches, managers, supervising teachers and students, opposition players and the officials. It is an expectation that parents attending competitions reaffirm their role as “adult” and as supporters of school athletics and fosters a Catholic culture of inclusivity and caring and a place where all children participating can feel safe and secure. It is an expectation that a parent/guardian be present and responsible for family members attending competitions. It is an expectation that parents/guardians respect the designated start and finish times set out by the volunteer coaches and arrange timely pick up and drop off. Occasionally parents who attend games may abuse the local staff, players and officials. Those individuals will be dismissed from athletic events by the school’s supervisors and if needed by local authorities. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 11 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 Official’s Expectations Officials will provide the opportunity for DPCDSB teams to read the DPCDSB Athletic Virtues Prayer at the start of each game. Each official assigned to a DPCDSB contest will be provided a card with the following statement which must be read to the captains and coaches of every contest prior to the beginning of the game: "The DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline requires officials to enforce all rules regarding unethical conduct by coaches and players. There will not be any tolerance for negative statements or actions between opposing players, including swearing, taunting and baiting.” Officials who are assigned DPCDSB contests will be requested to enforce the rules regarding Athletic Virtues without tolerance for abuse. The only warning to participants and coaches regarding Athletic Virtues should come at the beginning of the contest. Once the contest begins, consequences, not warnings, must be assessed for serious violations of unethical conduct. Officials will eject any coach who protests inappropriately unethical conduct calls, provided such ejection is permissible by the league rules of that sport. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.”(2 Timothy 4:7) 12 DPCDSB Athletic Virtues and Ethical Conduct Guideline 2014 DPCDSB ROPSSAA and DPEAA Executive Expectations It is incumbent upon the administrator and teacher representatives who are on the ROPSSAA and DPEAA Executives to represent the needs of DPCDSB athletics.

Schools and their personnel are expected to fully cooperate with the Executive’s effort to adhere to league guidelines and investigate possible inappropriate behaviour. The DPCDSB administrator representatives on the executives are responsible to communicate to the executive the needs of the Principal’s Council. The ROPSSAA and DPEAA Executives must ensure no decisions that would directly affect DPCDSB administration managerial rights be approved at any league meeting until approved by the appropriate DPCDSB Secondary Principal’s Council or DPCDSB Elementary Principal’s Council.
