Athletic Handbook- new and revised-see the bottom and back of this sheet for a guide to changes

5. Eligibility-Must be passing 5 classes(25hours each week), 1st week athlete is ineligible, they can practice but cannot, play in games or dress for games, but must attend the games and sit with the team on the bench. If ineligible for a 2nd week, then they lose the privilege of practicing with their team also. The coach can choose the number of weeks that an athlete can be ineligible before he/she removes them from the team.

6. Athletic Trainer-Karla Halde (Speak?)- athletes need to see her first about injuries
For parents to view about concussions: https://www.ihsa.org/multimedia/articulate/concussion/presentation.html

7. Transportation Home- We want our athletes riding home on the bus as much as possible but if an athlete needs to not ride the bus this can only be with their own parent/guardian, unless a phone call is made to the Athletic Director the day of the game and this will only be for special circumstances. Must sign your athlete out with the coach

8. Fan/Player/Coaches behavior expectations-ALL 3 are Role Models-Read Pg 17 in the Athletic Handbook

9. 24 Hour Rule- parents may not contact or approach a coach or sponsor for 24 hours after a game or about an incident involving their child. The only exception is if it is a matter of someone’s safety and well-being. Parents will follow this chain of command: Sport Coach, Athletic Director Chad Cruthis, Principal-Kim Emrick, Superintendent Matt Noyes, School Board Meeting. If it is not followed then their issue will not be heard or resolved

10. End of season sports recognition night has changed. We will now hold the junior high and high school recognition nights separately, this will allow easier set up and clean up and allow junior high sports teams to have the event closer to the end of their season. Dates for this night will be sent out during the season. Also, coaches may have a small party with players only after the season if they wish but all athletes are expected to attend the recognition night.

11. Uniform Collection: Coaches will collect uniforms on the day of the last contest, so players need to have a change of clothes with them.
