ASAA believes that co-curricular activities are an integral part of the educational program of a school. Each student enrolled in a member school should have an equal opportunity to participate in a broad number of activities based on her/his own talents and interests. It is the intent of ASAA to encourage participation in co-curricular activities.
Student participants are ambassadors of their schools and communities. As such, ASAA expects them to portray good citizenship, practice fair and ethical behavior, and be good role models. To ensure the health, safety, and rights of all participants in ASAA sponsored events, this code of conduct has been adopted by the Board of Directors for all ASAA State Championships.
Violation of this code of conduct will result in the removal of the student’s right to participate in the event, as well as to attend the event. Any awards or team points received by that individual during the event shall be forfeited. Complete wording in the State Championship Policies within the ASAA Handbook.
