22 CROSSROADS LEAGUE COACHES AND PLAYERS CODE OF ETHICS In order that the overall objectives of the Crossroads League Constitution be fostered, encouraged, and attained, the following code of ethics has been adopted: 1. It is the duty of coaches to be in control of their players at all times in order to prevent any unsportsmanlike act toward opponents, officials, or spectators. 2. Coaches are expected to comply wholeheartedly with the intent and spirit of the rules. The deliberate teaching of players to violate the rules is indefensible. 3. Coaches should teach their players to respect the dignity of the game, officials, opponents and the institutions which they represent. 4. Coaches should confine their discussion with game officials to the interpretations of the rules and not challenge officials' decisions involving judgment. 5. Whereas friendly banter between players is not to be prohibited: cursing, obscene language, malicious or personal remarks to opponents or spectators should not be tolerated at any time. Rather, the players should spend their energies toward encouraging their teammates to better efforts. 6. Coaches should emphasize the fact that their assistants, managers, and other bench personnel must confine their remarks to their own teammates and not "ride" the opposing players. 7. Coaches, themselves, should refrain from any personal action that might arouse players or spectators to unsportsmanlike behavior. 8. Coaches should expect from the officials a courteous and dignified attitude toward players and themselves. 9. Coaches should seek help from school administrators in controlling unruly students and spectators. 10. A coach or faculty member should be present at all Crossroads League athletic events so that the highest standards of sportsmanship and conduct are maintained. 22

23 ACADEMIC ALL-CROSSROADS LEAGUE Any student-athlete who satisfies the criteria listed below may, upon nomination, receive a certificate signifying "ACADEMIC ALL-CROSSROADS LEAGUE". Criteria: 1. The student-athlete must be on the roster for the entire league season within the given academic year. 2. The student-athlete must have been a full-time student at the member institution for the entire academic semester. *Exception to full-time attendance may be made for seniors needing a reduced number of credit hours to complete their degree requirements. 3. The student-athlete must have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or greater for the entire academic semester in which the student-athlete participated in the league sport. 4. The student-athlete must be classified as a third, fourth, or fifth year student to be eligible for the award. a. First Semester Academic All-Crossroads League M & W Cross Country M & W Tennis M & W Soccer Volleyball b. Second Semester Academic All-Crossroads League M & W Basketball M & W Track & Field Softball Baseball M & W Golf 5. Institutions need to use the NAIA All-American Scholar Athlete form in the NAIA Coaches Manual. 23

24 CROSSROADS LEAGUE ATHLETIC TRAINERS ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT The Crossroads League Athletic Trainers Association has approved that the following provisions be in place for all games, contests, and matches between the league schools in providing care to all participating athletes. The following information is considered standard operating procedure by all Crossroads League institutions. These guidelines are not League requirements, and the Crossroads League does not assume any responsibility for medical care and athletic training services provided to student-athletes. I. Medical Coverage A. An on-site licensed & certified athletic trainer will be physically available at all home soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball games. These games should take priority over host institutions practices elsewhere on campus. In season sports should also take priority over out of season sports. B. For other sports participated in by an institution, the athletic trainer will be available, within a reasonable response time, for all contests. C. Physician coverage: some institutions have physicians on a limited-call basis. Check the Sports Medicine Information Guide under the particular sport for specifics. D. A Crossroads League Athletic Trainer will be on-site for all League Tournaments. II. Emergency Communication A. Emergency communication, such as telephone, cellular phone or radio, should be available at all sites in case of an emergency. B.

Concussion Guidelines The following information is a guideline for care of student athletes for the Crossroads League regarding concussions. The Crossroads League recommends that all schools follow the protocols set forth by the physicians that cover their athletic teams. The host certified athletic trainer will be responsible for making the call on whether an athlete has a concussion, unless the visiting school has traveled with a certified athletic trainer. The following is the Crossroads League Policy for Medical Coverage: A. An on-site licensed and certified athletic trainer will be physically available at all home soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball games. B. For other sports participated in by an institution, the athletic trainer will be made available, within a reasonable response time, for all contests. What is a concussion? It s a brain injury that changes a person s behavior, thinking or physical functioning. They are typically caused by forceful blows to the head or body that result in rapid movement of the head. What are the symptoms of a concussion? They can be difficult to spot since most don t lead to a loss of consciousness, and other symptoms can show up hours, or even days, after the injury. They can include: Amnesia; confusion; headaches; loss of 25

26 consciousness; balance problems; double or fuzzy vision; sensitivity to light or noise; nausea; feeling sluggish; concentration or memory problems; slowed reaction time; feeling unusually irritable. What if a student-athlete gets a concussion in a game? First, they should be removed from play as soon as a concussion is suspected and evaluated by an appropriate health-care professional, such as a certified athletic trainer, team physician or a health care professional experienced in concussion evaluation and management. Athletes with a concussion are not allowed to return to the game that day. They should not return to play until all symptoms have been resolved during rest and exertion. A health care professional with experience in evaluating concussions should clear the student-athlete before returning to play is considered. If the athlete is determined not to have a concussion, by the certified athletic trainer, the athlete may be allowed to return to competition. 26
