I am ethically responsable

  • As a member of the RSEQ I represent my team, my school and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec.  I am responsible for showing a positive image of my sports discipline. 
  • I am respectful towards coaches, officials, spectators and my opponents.  I am also responsible for using appropriate language at all times.
  • I respect the rules of play, the referee’s decisions, and I reflect the values of respect and honesty in my behaviour.
  • I condemn violence and intimidation in all its forms, and I advise those responsible if I am a victim or witness to such acts.

The services are generally situated at the level of operation of different programs like:

  • Sporting events such as championships, festivals, invitational-tournaments, leagues, etc., at the recreational level to promote participation in intramural sports or at the competitive level to help members excel at higher levels.

Knowledge

  • I play with pleasure.
  • I consider personal improvement more important than victory.
  • I favor academic success and I am fully committed to my sporting journey.
  • I accept the victory with modesty and humility.
  • I accept defeat by being aware of my limits of abilities and recognizing the work of the opponent.
  • I do not have unrealistic expectations.  I am conscious of the fact that we are playing school sports and that we are not professional athletes.
  • I consider that the development of the person takes precedence over the development of the sport.
  • I always act in the best interest of the athletes.

How to Act

  • I take into consideration that my opponent is necessary to play.
