John Brown, Athletic Director, 小蓝视频<\/em><\/p>\n An important extension of the 小蓝视频 Core Values, WPS Athletics’ mission is to promote health, well-being, sportsmanship and leadership for all students by offering a comprehensive athletics program that is accessible to all. In doing so, WPS will create an environment that instills the lifelong benefits of sustained fitness, community-mindedness, and the ability to work positively as both an individual and as a team member toward the achievement of lifelong goals and pursuits.<\/p>\n The Interscholastic Athletic Program at 小蓝视频 is committed to the total physical, emotional, social and mental development of its participants. The program is an extension of the values and ideals of our school and aims to promote the development of a well rounded individual. Wellesley Public School athletes should take pride in themselves and in their team, school and community while learning to work together to achieve common goals. Every athlete should enjoy the experience of being a team member.<\/p>\n Tryouts for the athletic program are open to all students, provided they meet the standards of academic eligibility and school citizenship and meet basic physical\/health qualifications. Participation in the program is a privilege granted to students who meet and maintain these standards.<\/p>\n As members of the Wellesley athletic program, students are expected to demonstrate proper respect for all coaches, teammates, officials, spectators and equipment. Student athletes are expected to exhibit the highest level of conduct and sportsmanship both on and off the playing field as they are, at all times, representatives of their team, school and community.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n 小蓝视频 acknowledge the substantial amount of time coaches and teammates spend with each other. We know how important the relationships that develop between teammates and between a coach and an athlete can be. We see coaches as teachers, mentors, and role models. In addition to teaching the skills and strategies of athletics, coaches must model and encourage positive citizenship, integrity, commitment, and strong work ethic. While keeping the entire team in mind, one of a coach\u2019s top priorities must be to assist in the healthy physical, emotional and social development of each player.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n The 小蓝视频 Athletic Department is a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA)<\/a> and is therefore governed by Association “Rules and Regulations”. Additional policies, regulations and rules are set by the Wellesley School Committee. Under MIAA guidelines, local communities are allowed to set their own policy, rules and\/or regulations as long as they are more restrictive than those stipulated by the MIAA. Rules governing individual sports vary depending upon the sport. For example, rules are as stipulated by the National Federation of State High School Associations for basketball and by the Major League Rules of Baseball for baseball. Copies of the complete set of MIAA rules and regulations are available in the Athletic Office. One of the primary functions of the MIAA is to sponsor and conduct post-season tournaments leading to the determination of geographical district and state champions. When our varsity teams qualify for and enter such tournaments, we are completely subject to the specific rules and regulations that govern each tournament as set by the MIAA. Tournament qualification, divisional placement and geographical district criteria are sport specific.<\/p>\n Some of our teams may qualify for regional tournaments beyond the MIAA tournaments that are sponsored and conducted by the combined state associations that make up the region of competition. Some of our varsity teams may host and\/or play in seasonal tournaments that are sponsored by local school districts or other qualified agencies. MIAA regulations specify that such tournaments be sanctioned by the Association and be conducted totally under their policies, rules and regulations. The MIAA does not sanction or sponsor any sub-varsity tournament competition.<\/p>\n The MIAA is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations and is bound by their set of rules, policies and regulations.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n Wellesley High School is a member of the ten (10) school league known as the Bay State Conference. The Conference is governed by the MIAA<\/a> and its own Constitution. A copy of the Constitution is available for your review in the Athletic Office. Most of our game schedules at all levels of competition are set by the Conference. Most sport game schedules sponsored by the Conference at the varsity level are divided into two (2) divisions for championship play, and for seasonal play at the junior varsity and freshmen levels. The “Herget Division” includes the schools from: Walpole, Milton, Needham and Braintree. The “Carey Division” includes: Natick, Framingham, Brookline, Newton North and Wellesley. Interdivisional scheduled play is common for most of our teams. We also schedule some non-conference contests against schools from other surrounding communities. A few of our programs such as skiing and sailing compete in other leagues or compete entirely in a “non-league” schedule, because the majority of schools in the Bay State Conference do not sponsor these specific sport activities. Our Middle School program competes in a combined Bay State Conference\/Tri Valley League.<\/p>\n FALL SEASON: Starting Date: Varies, usually late August<\/strong><\/p>\n WINTER SEASON: Starting Date: Monday after Thanksgiving<\/strong><\/p>\n SPRING SEASON: Starting Date: Third Monday in March<\/strong><\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n The common goals of the athletic program at ALL LEVELS of play are for athletes to:<\/p>\n Additional goals of MIDDLE SCHOOL and FRESHMEN LEVEL teams are to:<\/p>\n Additional goals of JUNIOR VARSITY LEVEL teams are to:<\/p>\n Additional goals of VARSITY LEVEL teams are to:<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n Playing time is influenced by many factors, a great many of which are unique to the sport. Five factors which will help determine playing time are:<\/p>\n There are many decisions made on a regular basis by members of our coaching staff. These include: which athletes should start a contest, who should play what position and the amount of playing time. These very difficult coaching decisions are made only by members of our coaching staff after weighing a considerable number of factors. The coach has sole responsibility for all playing time decisions.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n The following is a list of important policies, rules and regulations that govern our athletic department. Take the time to read and understand them. If any questions and\/or concerns arise during your athletic experience at Wellesley Middle School and High School that are not addressed or answered in this booklet, please contact the Athletic Office at the High School.<\/p>\n The Wellesley Public School Athletic Program is based on the philosophy of “Raider Pride.” Each member of our athletic teams, Middle School, Freshmen, Junior Varsity and Varsity MUST:<\/p>\n Realizing that these four qualities are necessary to achieve “Raider Pride,” we expect a high level of commitment from all of our student athletes.<\/p>\n While trying out for and after being selected to be a member of a Wellesley Public School team, students are expected to make at least a two to three hour per day, five day per week commitment to the team for the extent of the season. Practices will consist, on average, of two hours of team activity daily, usually between the hours of 2:30 PM – 7:00 PM. Preparation time before and after practice and\/or games may bring the total time to three to four hours (depending on the sport).<\/p>\n At the Varsity and JV level, weekend and\/or evening practices and games are common. Students should expect regular involvement during these times. Practice and game hours may vary considerably because many of our teams share facilities and\/or use facilities off campus. Contact the coach or the athletic office for more specific information concerning practice and game times.<\/p>\n Participation in athletics is a privilege; students try out voluntarily and, for some teams, risk being cut. During the try out period, the coach will provide an explanation of his\/her expectations. It is the student’s responsibility to demonstrate to the coach that he\/she can meet them. Coaches will speak to students individually that are being cut from the program. Coaches will provide contact information and encourage the student to follow-up if he\/she has questions or concerns or just want to discuss further. Students cut from one team are encouraged to try out for another team if there is space on that team. After tryouts begin, no athlete may voluntarily leave one team and try out for another without the consent of the coaches of both teams and the Athletic Director.<\/p>\n Each High School Program will hold a preseason informational meeting for parents after cuts are made. At this meeting, information will be distributed covering but not limited to the following:<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n Varsity Teams:<\/strong> There are practices and contests scheduled during school vacation weeks.<\/strong><\/em> Junior Varsity, Freshmen and Middle School Teams:<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n It is extremely important to notify the coach if an athlete will be absent from a practice or game if that athlete was present in school earlier that day. The coaches in our program expect their athletes to attend all team-related activities and may suspend a team member from contests for absences. While students are excused from team activities for illness, injury, academic, family or religious reasons, prior notification is expected.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n A student athlete must be willing to make the commitments outlined and must also be declared eligible to play by the Athletic Director, according to the standards listed below.<\/p>\n Physical Examination:<\/strong> \u201cAll students must pass a physical examination prior to participation in School Athletics. A physical exam covers the student for 13 months from the exam date. A student\u2019s eligibility will terminate once a physical has reached the 13 month limit\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n If your child\u2019s physical exam expires during the sport season, your child will no longer be able to participate until a new physical examination has been obtained and is on file in the Nurse\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n If you currently have a physical examination on file in the Nurse\u2019s Office and it is NOT due to expire, you do not need to provide another copy.<\/p>\n Parent’s Permission \/ Registration:\u00a0<\/strong> Health Insurance:<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n MIAA<\/a> student eligibility requirements for participation in interscholastic athletics are quite involved and complex. The MIAA regulations have been condensed considerably here in order to highlight the most important rules and regulations. As with all MIAA rules, there is a waiver process. Waivers of MIAA rules must be initiated by the school Principal \/ Athletic Director. If the information listed below does not answer specific questions or if there is concern that a waiver might be necessary, please contact the Athletic Office.<\/p>\n Enrollment in Courses \/ Scholastic Achievement:\u00a0<\/strong> Age:<\/strong> Time Allowed for Participation:\u00a0<\/strong> Transfers to Wellesley High School:\u00a0<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n At 小蓝视频, student athletes are expected and encouraged to maintain the highest level of scholastic achievement possible. They are also expected to maintain the highest level of citizenship. To promote these goals, the following policies are in effect:<\/p>\n Academic Achievement:<\/strong> School Discipline Obligations:<\/strong> Daily Attendance \/ Class Cuts:<\/strong> School Nurse:<\/strong> Fitness and Health:<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n The school provides bus transportation or a suitable substitute to most away contests. All team members are expected to travel to these contests using school-provided transportation, when provided. Exceptions to this policy must be requested in writing to the Athletic Director, by a student’s parent, prior to the contest. Reasonable requests will be honored. A coach may allow students to ride home from a contest with their parents provided the necessary forms have been completed and personal contact is made between the parent and coach, at the game site. In most instances, students will not be allowed to ride to and from contests with other students. Non-team members may occasionally be allowed to ride team transportation if: space allows, the coach in charge has given approval, and prior written consent has been given from the parent to the Athletic Director.<\/p>\n In the event that a student engages in a dangerous activity while on the athletic bus, that student may be prohibited from riding the athletic bus for the remainder of the season. If the season is over, the student may be prohibited from riding the athletic bus during the student\u2019s next athletic season. Transportation to and from athletic events will become the responsibility of the parent\/guardian and must be approved by the Athletic Director.<\/p>\n Directions to Away Contests:\u00a0<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n According to School Committee policy, each student athlete at Wellesley High School is required to pay a fee to participate on a team according to the following guidelines:<\/p>\n Fee Schedule:<\/strong> Due Date:<\/strong> Exemptions:<\/strong> Refunds:<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n Students have an obligation and responsibility for all equipment issued to them and for its proper care and retention from the date of issue to the date of return. Students failing to turn in all issued equipment, or returning equipment damaged through misuse, are responsible to meet the current replacement cost for such equipment. Payment is required at the time of the loss, prior to the next season of athletic involvement, or graduation, whichever comes first. In the event that the equipment is found and\/or returned after payment, a refund will be issued.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n Student Lockers:<\/strong> Care of Facilities:<\/strong> Building and Facility Access:<\/strong> Athletic Shoes:<\/strong> Top<\/a><\/p>\n 小蓝视频 is extremely fortunate to have a highly qualified and skilled full-time Trainer as a member of the staff and a well equipped training center located at the High School. On school days, the Trainer’s hours are usually 2 pm until the conclusion of the last practice session or home contest. During weekends or on days when school is not in session, the Trainer is required to be on site only for contests and for some scheduled scrimmages. Occasionally, the Trainer will be on site for “non-school” day practice sessions.<\/p>\n At certain times, the Trainer, student staff and facility are extremely busy. Because of this, access to the training room and its services is limited to athletes who are there for care only; it should not be used as a student lounge. Training services will be granted on a first come, first served basis on practice days. On game days, students will be treated in an order that will allow bus and\/or game commitments to be met. The Training program exists to help athletes receive the best possible care.<\/p>\n In the event of an athletic injury, the Trainer and\/or Physician is in immediate control. At away contests, if the Trainer or Physician are not present, the host school medical personnel are in control. If no medical personnel are present, members of the coaching staff are instructed to “take charge” of the situation and, if warranted, call for emergency care. After an injury, a student may not return to competition without clearance by the Trainer which may also include written permission from the Physician.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n As a member of the MIAA<\/a>, 小蓝视频 strictly enforces the following Rule:<\/p>\n 62.1 From the earliest fall practice date, to the conclusion of the academic year or final athletic event (whichever is latest), a student shall not, regardless of the quantity, use, consume, possess, buy\/sell, or give away any beverage containing alcohol; any tobacco product(including e-cigarettes, VAP pens and all similar devices); marijuana (including synthetic); steroids; or any controlled substance. This policy includes products such as \u201cNA or near beer,\u201d inhalants (defined as any substance that produces a mind-altering effect when inhaled), and misuse of over-the-counter medications and substances used for the purposes of altering one\u2019s mental state. It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a legally defined drug specifically prescribed for the student\u2019s own use by his\/her doctor. This rule represents only a minimum standard upon which schools may develop more stringent requirements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Be aware that certain Wellesley High School teams have more stringent requirements. Those team members will be made aware of individual team guidelines by the coach prior to the season.<\/p>\n This MIAA statewide minimum standard is not intended to render “guilt by association”, e.g. many student athletes might be present at a party where only a few violate this standard.<\/p>\n If a student in violation of this rule is unable to participate in interscholastic sports due to injury or academics, the penalty will not take effect until that student is able to participate again.<\/p>\n Minimum PENALTIES:\u00a0<\/strong>First violation – When the Principal confirms, following an opportunity for the student to be heard, that a violation occurred, the student shall lose eligibility for the next consecutive interscholastic contests totaling 25% of all interscholastic contests in that sport. No exception is permitted for a student who becomes a participant in a treatment program. It is recommended that the student be allowed to remain at practice for the purpose of rehabilitation. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional part of an event will be dropped when calculating the 25% of the season.<\/p>\n Second and subsequent violations:<\/strong> When the Principal confirms, following an opportunity for the student to be heard, that a violation occurred, the student shall lose eligibility for the next consecutive interscholastic contests totaling 60% of all interscholastic contests in that sport. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional part of an event will be dropped when calculating the 60% of the season.<\/p>\n If after the second or subsequent violations the student of his\/her own volition becomes a participant in an approved chemical dependency program or treatment program, the student may be certified for reinstatement in MIAA activities after a minimum of 40% of events. The director or a counselor of a chemical dependency treatment center must issue such certification. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional part of an event will be dropped when calculating the 40% of the season.<\/p>\n Penalties shall be cumulative each academic year. If the penalty period is not completed during the season of violation, the penalty shall carry over to the student’s next season of actual participation, which may affect the eligibility status of the student during the next academic year.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n The following process will be executed when selecting all Team Captains:<\/p>\n It is expected that team captains be leaders of their team and be ready to assume duties as outlined by their coach. They are expected to be highly aware of team rules and student athlete responsibilities. Captains are expected to communicate with the coach and team in the event of any problems that may affect the team or its members. Captains may be asked to meet with the Athletic Director during the school year to discuss the athletic program.<\/p>\n Captains of teams may be relieved of their position for violation of team, department or school rules. Discussion between the coach and the Athletic Director must take place before an athlete is dismissed as a team captain.<\/p>\n There are no permanent captains for Middle School, Freshman and Junior Varsity Teams.\u00a0 There can be game day captains for sub-varsity teams.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n According to the MIAA<\/a>\u00a0Rule Book “a captain’s practice usually means that the team’s captain(s) are organizing and conducting out-of-season practice for that sport without coaching supervision.” These practices are designed by students to allow team candidates to “get in shape” for the upcoming season. They are not organized, attended or sponsored by members of our coaching staff. Since members of our coaching staff are not permitted to be involved with these practices, they are NOT MANDATORY, attendance is NOT MONITORED by a coach, and they are NOT part of our athletic program.<\/p>\n Top<\/a><\/p>\n One of the most important decisions facing high school students is what to do with their lives after high school. The members of the Wellesley High School Athletic Staff are willing and eager to assist all of their students with this extremely important decision. Staff members fully understand the importance of this assistance. They may be able to answer questions, contact schools and\/or coaches, send video tapes, if available, and write letters of recommendation. They will guide students to more knowledgeable resources who can help with decisions. If a student’s goal is to compete athletically at the collegiate level, it is very important to be aware of the ever changing N.C.A.A. (National Collegiate Athletic Association) regulations. Copies of the latest regulations are available in the Guidance Office. The High School Guidance Department also has a wealth of information and experience on this topic.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\n<\/a>VACATION AND EXTENDED ABSENCE POLICY<\/h3>\n
\nFamilies of student athletes should understand that all three regularly scheduled school vacations in December, February and April, are in the heart of our athletic seasons and the athletic program continues to operate.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough extended absences from team functions either during school vacation periods or while school is in session are discouraged, the Athletic Department recognizes that certain circumstances do require them. Students who plan to be absent from team activities for an extended period due to reasons such as family trips, religious obligations, or college visits are expected to inform their coaches regarding the absence as soon as plans are made. If an athlete misses one game or more than one practice under such circumstances, he\/she may be required to miss the first scheduled contest after his or her return. Although prior notification for a planned absence is mandatory, such notification does not eliminate the possibility of consequences following an absence. An athlete is required to earn his or her position back upon return.<\/p>\n
\nDuring school vacation periods Junior Varsity, Freshmen and Middle School teams will not be scheduled for contests against other schools (with the exception of Ice Hockey). Coaches may elect to hold practices for students who are not on an extended absence as defined in the Varsity Section above. All available team members are expected to attend team practices. All efforts will be made by the Athletic Department not to schedule any contests against other schools until sufficient practice time has been allowed upon school reopening at the conclusion of the vacation period. Once contests resume, all team members are eligible to compete.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>DAILY TEAM ATTENDANCE<\/h3>\n
\n<\/a>STANDARDS FOR PARTICIPATION<\/h3>\n
\nAll students are required to have a current physical examination on file in the Nurse\u2019s Office prior to participating in the athletic program in order to keep your child safe and protect confidentiality. \u00a0\u00a0This means that before<\/strong> your child can tryout, practice or participate on a team they must<\/strong> have a copy of their physical examination on file as required by the MIAA guidelines. \u00a0The MIAA definition of a current physical examination is as follows:<\/p>\n
\nA student must have a completed online permission \/ registration form prior to his\/her first practice session. This form must be completed for each season of athletic involvement.<\/p>\n
\nAll student athletes must be enrolled in an HMO or similar health insurance plan. Information on personal insurance coverage is required on the registration. All football players are automatically covered under a supplemental insurance plan purchased by the Town of Wellesley. This supplemental plan will cover expenses after an individual’s plan has contributed its maximum allowable benefits. It is the family’s responsibility to file all claims under its own plan or supplemental policy within three months of the date of injury. Insurance claim forms are available from the athletic trainer, who can assist in the claims process, if requested to do so.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>MIAA ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY RULES<\/h3>\n
\nStudent athletes must be enrolled in and passing at least 24 credit hours of work at the conclusion of each marking period. For the fall season, year-end grades from the previous school year are used to determine eligibility. At 小蓝视频, a credit hour is defined as any credit that counts towards graduation requirements.<\/p>\n
\nA High School student athlete shall be under 19 years of age, or be 19, provided that his\/her birthday falls on or after September 1st of the school year in which he\/she competes.<\/p>\n
\nA student has four consecutive years of High School eligibility, starting from the date he\/she enters the 9th grade. This means that he\/she may participate in a maximum of 12 consecutive athletic seasons. A 5th year high school student is usually ineligible for interscholastic competition.<\/p>\n
\nComplex rules govern students entering Wellesley High School from another high school. Information regarding the athletic eligibility of transfer students should be requested from the Athletic Office.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>IN SEASON ELIGIBILITY<\/h3>\n
\nScholastic “extra help” sessions and make-up work are expected to be completed as soon as possible. On practice days, students should stay after school to complete work whenever necessary. Coaches should be informed by students, in advance if possible, when practice time will be missed due to academic obligations. Once the obligations are completed, students are expected to report to practice on that same day. If the coach was not notified in advance, students should ask their teacher for a note explaining the tardiness. Students arriving late to practice due to make-up work or extra help will not receive an athletic team penalty. On game days, unless time allows, students should ask their classroom teacher if make-up work or extra help may be postponed until the next practice day. A classroom teacher may or may not grant such a postponement. The Athletic Department reserves the right to remove a student from a team for poor academic performance and may reinstate that student after seeing evidence of sufficient improvement. Reinstatement cannot be granted if MIAA scholastic eligibility requirements are not met.<\/p>\n
\nAny student athlete with a school disciplinary obligation is expected to fulfill the disciplinary obligation before reporting to an athletic practice and\/or game. Students cannot expect, and should not request, disciplinary action to be postponed or canceled for any athletic reason. The Athletic Department reserves the right to remove a student from a team for excessive disciplinary problems and may reinstate that student after seeing evidence of sufficient improvement. It is expected that our athletes be model citizens both in and out of school; they should set an example for all students.<\/p>\n
\nStudents are expected to attend all scheduled periods during the school day. Athletes must be in school a full day in order to practice or play on that day. The Athletic Department will make every possible attempt to check daily class and school attendance. Exceptions, such as doctor’s appointments or college visits, must be cleared in advance by the Athletic Director or Assistant Principal whenever possible. The Athletic Department reserves the right to remove a student from a team for excessive cuts or truancy and may reinstate that student after seeing evidence of sufficient improvement.<\/p>\n
\nStudents who spend time in the nurse’s office due to illness on a school day will not be allowed to participate in any athletic activities on that same day.<\/p>\n
\nAll students are required to participate in regularly scheduled Fitness and Health classes. A students who is excused from a Fitness and Health class for medical reasons will not be allowed to participate in his\/her team practice or game that same day.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM CONTESTS<\/h3>\n
\nThe Athletic Department published a set of directions to all away contest locations for the “Bay State Conference” and are available on BigTeams at http:\/\/wellesleyathletics.org\/<\/a>. There is also a link on this site for Google Maps\u00a0directions to most league sites<\/a>. In the event that directions are needed to a non-league contest, parents and other interested spectators may contact the Athletic Department at: 781-446-6290 x7.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>ATHLETIC FEES<\/h3>\n
\nStudent athletes are required to pay an athletic fee of $300 for each season they participate on a team. The maximum charge per family, per school year is $1,800.<\/p>\n
\nAthletic fees are due at the online registration check out, fees should be paid by credit card or if necessary by check. Checks should be made out to 小蓝视频, prior to the first tryout \/ practice. A student may be excluded from participation if his\/her Athletic fee has not been paid. Any costs incurred for returned checks will be charged to the student.<\/p>\n
\nThe fee schedule is in no way designed to exclude students from participating in the athletic program. Exemptions from the athletic fee may be granted by the Business Office. A coach does not have the authority to grant an exemption. All such requests will remain confidential.<\/p>\n
\nAny student who voluntarily leaves a team or is dropped from its roster for disciplinary or eligibility reasons, will not be granted a refund. In other instances, upon request from a student, a refund may be granted. Refunds are made in the form of a credit to the family account or refunded to a credit card. If an athletic fee credit is never used, a check for the refund will be issued by the Town of Wellesley. If a student is cut from a team the user fee will be refunded back to your credit card. No refunds are issued after the first game of the season is played.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>SCHOOL ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT<\/h3>\n
\n<\/a>LOCKER ROOMS AND FACILITIES<\/h3>\n
\nOnce team rosters are set, if not before, each team member will be issued an athletic locker if they so request. If a locker is not issued, students should request one from the coach. Students are expected to lock all personal items and team equipment in their own locker at all times. Students should never give their locker combination to anyone else. Experience has shown that most losses are due to lockers left open or unlocked. On road trips, when lockers are not available, it is highly recommended that students leave valuables at home or give them to parents or a member of the coaching staff for safekeeping at the game site. Large amounts of cash should never be carried or left at the school.<\/p>\n
\nStudents are expected to treat all facilities, both home and away, with proper care. 小蓝视频 have some of the best facilities in the area, and only proper care and respect will keep them this way. Vandalism is cause for dismissal from a team and further disciplinary action by the school administration.<\/p>\n
\nAt the conclusion of each school day, student athletes should bring all items that they need until the next school day to the locker room area. For safety reasons, students are not allowed access to other areas of the building after practice, games or on non-school days. No students will be allowed access to any of our inside facilities without proper supervision by a school staff member.<\/p>\n
\nAt no time should shoes with cleated soles by worm inside the building. Serious injury can occur from slipping on cement or tiled surfaces.<\/p>\n
