APIAL has the following additional guidelines regarding conduct of its members. (as per the APIAL constitution)
a. CONDUCT OF COACHES, ADs and PLAYERS - Coaches, ADs and players must conduct themselves in a Christian manner and must honor all judgment calls of the referees. Coaches and parents will be responsible for the acts of their team’s players.

Principals (or their representative), after consultation and mutual agreement with all coaches, referees, and other school representatives, have the right to stop any game if they feel it is harmful to the students. In such situations, the decision of the game will be brought to the board for final decision. Such games may end in a forfeit.

We hold our student-athletes, coaches and parents to high standards of ethics and sportsmanship and we promote the development of good character and other important life skills. Integrity, fairness, and
respect are lifetime values taught through athletics. They are also the principles of good sportsmanship. With them, the spirit of competition thrives, fueled by honest rivalry, courteous relations, and graceful acceptance of the results. The following is a guideline for Sportsmanship as outlined by the Albuquerque Parochial and Independent Athletic League (APIAL).
I have read and understand the requirements of this Code of Conduct. I understand that I’m expected to perform according to this code and I understand that there may be sanctions or penalties if I do not.
