Removal Players who quit or are removed due to discipline or absences will have their schedule changed out of the athletic period. This can result in their entire daily schedule being changed

Family Rules We respect family rules They require a dual commitment Using sports participation as family discipline can lose its effectiveness quickly

Doctor’s Notes / Asthma ”Asthma action plan” TWO INHALERS ARE A MUST Injury/Soreness - there is a difference. It is our goal to develop the athlete as a whole. Although injuries may be serious, we would like to see the athlete participate in some capacity. Being sedentary for any length of time will make it more difficult to return to play
