SPORTS PARTICIPATION RULES
ATHLETIC GUIDELINES
SPORTS PARTICIPATION RULES
ATHLETIC GUIDELINES
Student-athletes should understand that interscholastic athletic participation is a privilege. Team members are afforded the privilege of representing themselves and their school as long as they are willing to accept and abide by the school’s athletic code. High school athletes must always keep in mind that athletic contests are games designed and conducted to promote the physical, mental, moral, social, and emotional well-being of the individual players. Members of a team must recognize that they have the following responsibilities:
1. They are official representatives of North Haven Community School.
2. They represent their family, friends, and community.
3. They are expected to be good leaders in promoting good citizenship.
4. Their actions, in and out of school, build student respect and contribute to improved school spirit. This responsibility implies that proper respect be given to administrators, teachers, coaches, officials, fellow athletes, and the student body.
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY RULES, PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
Academic eligibility to participate in interscholastic athletics is determined by the NHCS high school faculty and administration at their weekly Eligibility Meeting, generally held on Tuesday mornings before the start of school.
1. Student-athletes not on the Honor Roll are required to fill out and complete a weekly Eligibility Sheet, have it signed by a parent and turned in to the school office prior to the weekly Eligibility Meeting. Failure to do so may result in being declared ineligible until this requirement is met.
2.. Students need to budget their time when participating in extracurricular or co-curricular activities. Students may not use their participation in extra-curricular activities as an explanation for neglecting their school work.
3.. Any student found negligent as determined by the Eligibility Committee (classroom teachers, Special Education Department, and Principal) in any of the following areas - Homework, Attitude/ Behavior, Grades, Effort - may be declared ineligible. 4. Students are expected to demonstrate an ongoing industrious work ethic, present consistently cooperative attitudes and behavior, and maintain acceptable grades (C average with no No Credits). Effort, cooperation, and behavior apply to participation in class, at rehearsals, practices, games, performances, programs, and during team travel, as well as during regular in-school time.
5. Coaches and activity advisors have the responsibility to encourage students participating in their activity to meet this requirement during each ranking period.
ACADEMIC INELIGIBILITY LEVELS
When student-athletes fail, or are in danger of failing, to meet academic and/or eligibility requirements, they, and their parent(s), will receive a notice of their Academic Eligibility status in writing from the Athletic Director following the weekly Eligibility Meeting. The notification letter will identify the Level of the student-athlete’s ineligibility:
LEVEL I: If a student does not meet the Academic Eligibility Requirements, the Athletic Director will warn the student that she/he may not be permitted to participate in the activity if the deficit is not cleared within one (1) week.
LEVEL II: If a student does not meet the Eligibility Policy requirements for a second time or if the deficit as established at Level I is not cleared, the Athletic Director is to advise the student that she/he may not participate in the activity for a period of one (1) week and that the deficit must be cleared within that time.
LEVEL III: If a student does not meet the Eligibility Policy Requirements for a third time or if the deficit as established at Level II is not cleared, the Athletic Director is to advise the student that she/he may not participate in the activity for a period of two (2) weeks, and that the deficit must be cleared within that time.
LEVEL IV: If a student does not meet the Eligibility Policy requirements for a fourth time or if the deficit as established at Level III is not cleared, the Athletic Director is to advise the student that she/he may not participate in the activity for the balance of the season.
Students are entitled to, and may request, a hearing with the Principal and/or Athletic Director before any penalty is determined or imposed.
GENERAL ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION RULES
1. Behavior - Students participating in any NHCS athletic program are subject to the school’s behavior code and disciplinary policies during practices, at home and away games, during trips, and at any team activities.
2. Parental Permission to Participate - Students must return to the Athletic Director a signed parental permission form allowing them to participate in the activity.
3. Accident Insurance - Each family is responsible for its own accident insurance for student-athletes. Information about insurance available for purchase through the school will be distributed early in the school year. Student-athletes are not required to carry medical or accident insurance; however, such insurance coverage is strongly recommended since the school does not carry a policy on individual student-athletes.
4. Physical Examination - All NHCS students who wants to participate in the school’s interscholastic sports program must have an annual physical examination by a physician prior to the start of the season. Physical exams by the school physician will be provided by the school.

5. Emergency Medical Treatment - All students will be given a form to be signed by a parent or a guardian authorizing the school to procure emergency treatment for an injured child at no expense to the school. The child must pass a physical examination conducted by a physician to ensure his/her ability to participate in the athletic activity. (See "Physical Examination”)
6. School Attendance - Regular school attendance is required of all student-athletes. Student-athletes absent from school during all or part of the day of a game or practice shall not participate in that game or practice, unless it is an excused absence approved by the Principal. Student-athletes must be in school on time on the day of a game and on the morning after the contest, unless excused by a physician or the Principal. Violation of this provision could mean suspension from the activity at the discretion of the Principal.
7. Travel To/From Games - All student-athletes are required to travel to and from out-of-town contests with the team in school-provided transportation. Permission to return home with parents after an away contest must be submitted to the Principal and may be granted only by the Principal or designee. Written permission from the parent must be received by the Principal before the trip and the parent must contact the coach before leaving with the student.
8. Equipment - Student-athletes will be issued the school’s best appropriate equipment. Each athlete will assume responsibility for issued school equipment and will be assessed for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.
9. Dress Code - Student-athletes are expected to be neatly and appropriately dressed for both home and away contests, as designated by their coach.
10. Eligibility - Student-athletes must meet academic disciplinary obligations prior to any type of athletic participation. ( See “Athletic/Co-Curricular Rules of Eligibility”).
