Athletic Contests 

Proper behavior is expected at all home and away athletic contests. Athletes and spectators should always display an attitude of good sportsmanship toward opposing players, coaches, fans and officials. Sportsmanship means treating opponents with fairness, courtesy and respect. Students whose behavior is inappropriate will be referred to the Deans. In accordance with CIF/CCS and league sportsmanship policies, the following behavior is considered unacceptable at all high school contests.

1. Insulting your opponents’ school or mascot.

2. Insulting opposing players.

3. Making unsportsmanlike, derogatory or obscene cheers or gestures.

4. Signs meant to be derogatory toward one’s opponent.

5. Using artificial noise makers.

6. Insulting officials verbally or through gestures.

7. Proceeding onto the playing court or field before, during or after the contest.

8. Acting disrespectful during the national anthem or during opposing team introductions.

9. Visiting an opposing team’s campus before or after a contest with the intent to perform a prank or commit vandalism.

All student athletes are students first and athletes second. There are strict rules for our school district on academic eligibility for athletes that must be followed and kept track of and enforced by coaches and ADs so that games do not have to be forfeited. Below are the requirements: 

•  Athletes must pass 5 classes and maintain a 2.0 GPA to stay eligible for competition. 

• ADs will determine the eligibility of athletes on your roster at the beginning of each season and whenever new grade reports are released.

•  Each season has 2-3 grading periods between 5-7 weeks. If a player becomes ineligible, they are ineligible for the entire grading period. 

• An athlete is put on probation when passing 5 classes but not maintaining a 2.0 GPA, or when they have a 2.0 GPA but are not passing 5 classes. 

• Athletes on academic probation CAN PLAY but, athletes CANNOT play in games if they are on probation for 2 consecutive grading periods because they then become ineligible. 

Incoming freshmen enter school on academic probation. 

Seniors have an exception – seniors may pass 4 classes and get a 2.0 to be eligible. 

All student athletes must submit the proper paperwork to be physically eligible to PLAY OR PRACTICE. Athletes CANNOT practice until the following are completed (all downloadable on school website): 

•  “Pre-participation screening” form (also known as physical – make sure each is signed  by doctor AND parent) 

• Parent Waiver form 

• Code of Conduct 

• Steroid form 

• Concussion form and baseline testing

• Athlete Insurance information (Athletes may purchase school insurance through the Main Office if they do not have their own insurance.) IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to make a copy of each athlete’s insurance form and keep that copy with you at all times. 

Responsibility: Whether teams win or lose, it is important that athletes learn responsibility. Athletes are expected to be at all practices and games unless they have cleared an absence first with a coach. Students are expected to practice time management by working on projects, making up tests, etc., on their own time and are expected to fulfill their athletic commitments.

Transfer students: COACHES need to identify these new students ASAP! Send the new student immediately to an Athletic Director. The ADs will decide what the appropriate paperwork is and get the process started. CCS paperwork takes a long time to process! Paperwork will be slow. Be proactive in identifying your athletes. Again, failure to do so can result in forfeiture of contests. 

Parents can play a very important role in our athletic program. They can do many off the field tasks that will enhance your program. It is the hope of the Athletic Director that each sport will have a Team Parent to assist with these activities. However, there are guidelines on their role. Please make sure to follow the expectations set up by High School to ensure the best athletic program for your team. 

Parent Limits: Be very careful to avoid showing favoritism towards specific parents. It is critical that you are equal with all parents. Parents have the right to ask a question about practice schedules, how playing time is decided and what could their child do to improve. If you have parents who are exceeding their roles, please contact the Athletic Director for assistance. 

Parent Complaints: Please inform the Athletic Director of any parent complaints (the ADs will do the same for you). Coaches are expected to handle complaints in a mature fashion and listen to what the person has to say. However, do not feel that you are alone in this. If you ever feel the situation warrants intervention from an AD or Site Administrator, please contact an AD immediately. 

Communication with Parents: Every year, there are misunderstandings between parents and coaches concerning a variety of issues. In order to minimize these problems, it is recommended that you send home a letter each season to all the parents of the participants on your team. This letter should contain the following information: 

• Your contact information (such as your email address and/or home/business phone number). 

• Practice schedules – days and times, as well as where those practices are to be held. 

• Game Schedules and the school’s athletics/team web site so they can go to it if a game has been cancelled. 

• Criteria for being selected to play on your team. 

• Team Rules and consequences for violating those rules. 

• Eligibility requirements as set forth by CIF, our league, and FUHSD. 

• Physical exam, Insurance and drug policy requirements. 

1. Talk about the other kids on the team and the other team in the same manner you want other parents to talk about your child.

2. It’s nice to give the coach a pat on the back when he or she wins. It is even nicer when you give the coach a pat on the back after a loss.

3. Don’t hesitate to give the referee, umpire or official a pat on the back.

4. Remind your children that it’s effort that counts. 

5. Avoid the PGA – the post game analysis.

6. Smile….enjoy the game!

7. If you are not a good sport at the games, neither will your kids.

8. Take time to learn the rules of the game.

9. If you must make noise at games, shout only praise and encouragement.

10. Above all, be there for your children…support them, praise them, regardless of the score.
