Please read through the Code of Conduct and check off each statement indicating that you agree

I. GENERAL GUIDELINES

Learn, follow and respect the rules of Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) as well as all officials who uphold these rules

Learn, follow, and respect the rules of our Montachusett Area Special Sports (MASS) local program

Have fun, keep a positive attitude, be supportive, and maintain communication

II. SPORTSMANSHIP

Try to control my own and my teammates’ tempers, bad language, and behavior

Be fair to others: DO NOT taunt other teams/players, argue with officials, cheat, lie, or fake injuries

Encourage teammates and opponents instead of criticizing them or arguing with them

III. TRAINING & COMPETITION

Respect my coaches and fellow players by attending practice on time until the end, participating in all activities, paying attention, and trying my hardest at all time.

Wear, bring, care for the correct uniform or clothes and equipment for practices and competitions.

Appreciate the efforts and time of my teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, and volunteers.

IV. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND EXPECTATIONS

Join MASS local program members in contributing to its overall fundraising goal to balance our teams’ seasonal expenditures: training, competitions, facilities, insurance, equipment, and other miscellaneous expenses

Acknowledge the MASS local program incurs expenses for my participation, so I need to participate in SOMA-organized fundraising efforts to support the MASS program to keep it going

Solicit donations, make a personal donation to MASS, or combine the two, if that works better

V. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Be free of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis (of any form), non-controlled substances, vaping and weapons during the entire course of all SOMA or MASS events, practices, competitions, and activities.
