Practice Tips and Guidelines

PRACTICE IS MANDATORY EVERYDAY 
Dress and be on time RAIN or SHINE. We practiced through hail for the first time this year! :D
Frequently missed practices could affect an athlete's grade.

Commincation is key!

Practice Times

Green Days be dressed and warming up by 1:45
Grey Days (afterschool) dressed and ready to go by 3:25
Advisory Fridays be dressed and ready to by 1:50
PD Tuesdays be dressed and ready to go by 12:50
After School on PD Tuesdays dressed and ready to go by 3:25
From 2:10-3:10 there will be homework help through A World Fit For Kids

If you were placed in Group 1, are a jumper/hurdler, or on a relay you will often be asked to start practice at an earlier time. 

Tardy Policy 

Consequences may worsen if tardies become habitual

Grey Day/Afterschool Attendance Policy 

Critical Situations +Communication= No Consequence 
Critical Situations+ No Communication= Minimal Consequence 
Non Critical Situations+ Communication= Moderate Consequence 
Non Critical Situations+ No Communication= Heavy Consequence

Critical Situations = Family Emergencies

Non Critical Situations 

1. Didn't have clothes, Forgot, and Tired.
2. Common Cold/Headaches/Injured still have to show up we will give you a modified workout or possibly send you home, but you still have to show up.
3. Doctors/Dentists/Orthodontist Appointments should be planned around practice after school on green days are ideal. Yes, you might miss strength training but you can still get a track workout.
4. Group projects, and studying. Being a student comes first, but learning how to manage time is a vital skill. If you have to study or work on a project we can give you a shortened workout.

Please don't argue about level of consequence or if a situation is critical or not. The consequences aren't a big...deal just do them and let's keep it cool.

Consequences 

Minimal Consequence Pick up 5-10 pieces of Trash
Moderate Consequence Putting Away Equipment Used/ Organizing Equipment 
Heavy Consequence Minimal and Moderate Consequences Comined  
During season events may be taken away or added 
Consequences may worsen if absences become habitual

Complete School Day Missed

Please let us know as soon as possible that you will be missing practice. This is vital to all athletes that have been placed in Group 1 or on Relays. 

Please Bring PRC to next Practice!

No Consequences unless absences become habitiual without valid reason.

Communication

Athletes can text line leaders, send email to [email protected], or message through remind app!

If you tell us during the day in person please use one of the options above to leave a paper trail. Coaches can not remember everything....

Injuries

Student-Athletes must know the difference between small nagging injuries and truly being injured. 
Both cases require you to be at practice dressed unless, but your activity might be limited or non exsistent. 
Minor injuries may include: shin splints, minor sprains, minor muscle strains, and minor forms of tendonitis.
Severe injuries may include: torn muscles, broken bones, ligament/tendon strains/tear, and so fourth. 
We, as coaches, will try to do our best to help prehab and rehab injuries.

Meets

Athletes must ride on bus to and from meets unless proper paper work is completed
Early Dismissal paperwork must be completed at lease one day prior to meet
Athletes must treat all opposing athletes/coaches/helpers with respect
Athletes must stay until the end of the meet unless approved by a coach
ATHLETES MUST TALK TO TEACHERS ABOUT MISSED CLASSES DUE TO MEETS BEFORE HAND

Grading

The only ways a Student-Athlete will not receieve an "A" in the class is if practice is consistently being missed or consistently not dressing.

You can help by providing snacks at meets
