Expectations of Players

       “Let your light shine before men so that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). This passage tells us that anyone watching the sporting event should be able to tell these players are young Christian athletes.
       When joining a team, the student makes a commitment on which they are expected to follow through. Specific expectations include but are not limited to:
  1. Mandatory attendance at practice, team meetings, and games unless ill or otherwise excused.
  2. Conducting themselves at practice in a manner so all can learn.
  3. Displaying Christ-centered respect and sportsmanship at all times to all players, coaches, officials, and spectators.
  4. Maintaining an academic level to Bethany standards.
  5. Respecting all property when playing at home or the opposing team’s facility.
  6. Players are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities outside of team practices to develop their skills: summer camps, working with parents, open gyms, and the like.
