B. MISCELLANEOUS

1. Initiations/Hazing/Bullying

Student-athletes are expected to be leaders and mentors for younger students. Initiation rituals, hazing, and bullying are not acceptable and will not be tolerated. We expect our student-athletes to lead by example and leave a positive legacy during their time at TAS.

2. Locker room conduct

Student security and safety in the locker room facility are priorities of the coaching staff. Each student-athlete is responsible for assisting in keeping the locker room area clean, safe, and secure. • Locker room users are expected to be mindful of safety at all times. • Lock and re-check your locker before leaving the locker room. • Whenever possible, do not share lockers or share your combination with any other person. • Report any missing items to your coach or administrator immediately. • Clean your area as you leave each day. • Treat the facility with respect.

3. Social Media

Student-athletes are reminded to always use good judgment when using social media. Think twice before posting on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms. An individual’s online behavior should reflect the same standards of respect that one would use face-to-face. Social media venues, including blogs and photo- and video-sharing sites, are very public; what you contribute leaves a digital footprint. Do not post anything you wouldn't want friends, enemies, parents, teachers, or a future employer to see. Report any inappropriate use of social media—including cyberbullying and harassment—to a coach, teacher or administrator immediately.

4. Language

Profanity will not be tolerated at any time.
