It is the purpose of the Brooklyn/Queens Catholic High School
Athletic Association to promote the highest standard of fair play and
sportsmanship. Keeping in mind the Christian beliefs of all our schools and
promoting this belief through the behavior of our student athletes, coaches, and
spectators that is above criticism, we will adhere to the code of conduct as put
forth by the by-laws of each sport.
The success of this purpose is directly elated to the
coaches’ sense of responsibility, diligence in supervision, and effectiveness in
enforcement.
The CHSAA has its goal to "offer the boys and girls who
attend the member schools an education of quality in a true Catholic tradition
of academic excellence and moral qualities." Consistent with this mission is the
stated purpose of the CHSAA program; namely, "to provide the best athletic
competition possible without sacrificing our academic integrity and moral
character."
Further it is the CHSAA’s intent to amplify the student-athlete’s
educational experience by providing opportunities for physical vigor,
leadership, and individual discipline, all of which are benefits of a well-run
athletic program.
COACHES
Individual employed or representing or associated with a
member school to administer, conduct, or coach interscholastic athletics shall
deport themselves with integrity and sportsmanship at all times so that the
CHSAA athletics as a whole, their schools, and they, as individuals, represent
the honor and dignity of fair pay and the high standards associated with amateur
competitive sports.
