Olympic Athletics Code of Excellence Athletic participation is a privilege, not a right. Athletic participation may be denied for violating the Code of Conduct. CODE OF EXCELLENCE
Important Rules to Remember : Athletes are expected to attend all practices, meetings, games, and any events the coach deems mandatory. The coach should be notified of the absence prior to the absence. The coach has the authority to determine whether or not the reason for absence is considered excused. To be eligible to participate in practice or games, an athlete must be in school for at least half the school day (2.5 blocks). If suspended, the student is ineligible to participate that day. Weekend participation is determined by attendance on Friday. Athletes are required to travel on the team bus unless prior permission is granted by the Athletic Director.
