NJCAA Code of Conduct

The basic principles of the National Junior College Athletic Association stand for the highest ideals in sportsmanship. One of the primary objectives of competition is to develop and foster respect for fellow participants, coaches, officials and spectators. With this in mind, and since it is fundamental to the continuance of the activities sponsored by the NJCAA that the rights of the majority shall not be jeopardized by the actions of a few, this code of conduct has been adopted.

Basic Responsibilities
Participants shall recognize their responsibility for proper conduct at any tournament, contest or event sponsored by the NJCAA or its member colleges.

Coaches shall recognize and assume responsibility for the actions of themselves and their team members. Each coach who has participants competing in the event shall be responsible for informing each member of the code.

Note: Should individual regional, conference or institutional penalties/guidelines require additional sanctions for any of the behaviors listed below, those would take precedence.
