Professionalization of sports fields is a significant subject that preoccupied theorists in these fields today. It has led to both positive and negative consequences. It may result in a decrease in moral values. In order to get out of the present situation and institutionalize ethics in sports, a code of conduct for upholding moral values in sports clubs must be formulated. This code consists of a set of ethical guidelines that set an example of right professional behavior, suggest a systematic strategy for internalizing moral values and norms, and help those in charge of sports to make right decisions and to improve professional standards. Adopting a descriptive-analytical method, this study describes the process of formulating and promoting the desired code through a systematic approach in seven steps: (1) developing ethical sensitivity; (2) establishing an ethics committee; (3) formulating principles and guidelines; (4) evaluating viewpoints; (5) making (educational and legal) attempts; (6) seeking feedback; (7) making corrections and amendments.

Ethical contradictions in the field of sports and development of the ethical virtues in sports environments have attracted little attention of scholars which can be called a problem. Based on the fact that religion has a position in promotion of ethics and even it has significant effects in sports positions and successes, institutionalizing the ethical criteria taken from religious teachings called “promotion model of sports ethics with Islamic ethical approach” is very important as the macro strategy of promoting the level of sports ethics. Thereby, in order to propose a meaningful picture of the sports emphasized by Islam and also to achieve ethical gyms, teams, athletes and organizations, some practical steps could be taken.
