Cougar Athletics Rules and Responsibilities

All prospective athletes and parents are to read the following sports rules and responsibilities listed below.  

Rules and Responsibilities

1. I recognize that it is a privilege to play on a Cougar team.  My attitude will always be, “What can I do for the team and my fellow athletes?”  I will observe all guidelines for good athletics as established by the coaches and comply with their instructions at all times.
2. By my attitude and conduct I will show respect for my school, my coach, the officials, my opponents, the fans, and myself.  I will observe the rules of sportsmanship at all times.
3. Athletes must maintain a grade average of 2.0 in core classes (math, science, social studies, and ELA) and be passing all classes.  Should classroom achievement fall below this, athletes are expected to work with their coach and teachers to help resolve the situation.  Athletes may be restricted to practice and are ineligible to travel to and participate in games, matches, or contests until grades are at acceptable levels.
5. Punctuality and attendance is mandatory for practice.  Athletes should wear proper attire and be attentive during practice.  Advise the coach immediately if you are injured or ill.
6. Missing practice without being excused or ill may result in the athlete being ineligible for the next game.  
7. To participate in a game, match, contest or practice, an athlete must be in attendance at school by 11:45 am on the day of the game, match, contest, or practice unless the absence has been prearranged.
8. Players must return to school on the bus.  Players not wishing to return to the school on the bus may only be excused to their parent or legal guardian.  Following the contest, parents need to sign their athlete out with the coach if the athlete is not riding the bus back to the school.  Notes to ride with other parents cannot be accepted.  
9. The coach and/or principal will be responsible for handling discipline matters with athletes at practice, games, or on the bus.
10. For any major misbehavior, the coach reserves the right to remove an athlete from the team.
