We expect our parents, fans, and spectators to conduct themselves in a manner that is positive and does not take away from the game or the work that our student-athletes have put into being able to compete. The policy below outlines the expectations as well as the outcomes of violating this policy.

Parents, fans, and spectators will not:

• Use profane language or language that is meant to belittle a team, individual athlete, coach, official, or another spectator.
• Use threatening language directed towards a coach, competitor, official, or another spectator.
• Enter the field of play unless directed to do so by the coach and official during an emergency.

Violations of this policy are cumulative from one year to the next. The ejection can be either by the game official, or the Mapleton administrator on duty.

First Violation-

The individual will be prohibited from attending Mapleton events, home or away, until two contests have been completed at the same competitive level at which the ejection occurred. Example: A fan ejected during a varsity football game is prohibited from attending any Mapleton athletic events until two varsity football games have been completed.

Second Violation-

The individual will be prohibited from attending Mapleton events, home or away, for 50% of the regularly scheduled season. The denial of attendance may carry over into the next athletic season. A meeting between the fan, athletic director, and school principal must also take place prior to the denial of attendance being completed. Example: A fan ejected during a varsity girls’ basketball game is prohibited from attending any Mapleton athletic events until 11 games have been completed. If there are only 6 games remaining, the denial of attendance will remain in place until 5 events have been completed of the next season (in this case, the spring athletic season.)

Third Violation-

The individual will be prohibited from attending Mapleton events for one calendar year. A meeting between the fan, athletic director, and school principal must take place prior to the denial of attendance being completed.

Fourth Violation-

The individual will have a permanent denial of attendance to Mapleton athletic events.
