Our Programs

Athlete & ParentCode of Conduct

G.R.O.W. Athletes is a disciplined, structured program. Every athlete, parent, and guardian is expected to uphold these standards at all times.

Conduct & Respect

Verbal abuse, bullying, taunting, or disrespect toward coaches, staff, or fellow athletes will result in immediate removal.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

No fighting, roughhousing, or physical aggression of any kind — on or off the training floor.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

Profanity, racial slurs, or any demeaning language toward any person is strictly prohibited.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

Phones must be silenced and stored during all training sessions. Photos or video require explicit coach approval.

Athletes must be coachable — listen actively, respond positively to feedback, and encourage teammates.

Safety & Equipment

Athletes must follow all coach and staff instructions immediately and precisely. Failure to follow safety commands is a zero-tolerance violation.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

No athlete may use weights or equipment without a coach present and a proper demonstration of correct form.

Proper athletic footwear — closed-toe, non-slip sneakers — must be worn at all times. No sandals, slides, or bare feet.

Any pain, injury, or discomfort must be reported to a coach immediately. Never train through unknown pain.

All weights and equipment must be returned to their designated locations after every use.

Attendance & Punctuality

Athletes must arrive on time and ready to train. More than three unexcused absences may result in removal from the program.

A parent or guardian must physically sign the athlete in and out of every session. No unsupervised departures permitted under any circumstances.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

Planned absences must be communicated to coaching staff at least 24 hours in advance via phone or email.

Athletes must arrive hydrated and bring a clearly labeled personal water bottle to every session.

Any athlete experiencing a communicable illness must remain home and may return only after 24 hours symptom-free or with written medical clearance.

Performance-enhancing substances, unapproved supplements, or any controlled substances are strictly prohibited.
⛔ Zero Tolerance

All known medical conditions must be disclosed on the consent form. Changes in medical status must be communicated to staff immediately.

Parent & Guardian Conduct

Parents and guardians must treat all coaches, staff, athletes, and other parents with respect at all times. Disruptive parent behavior will result in the athlete's removal.
