Players responsibility
How can you help your athlete?
We will hold to the 24 Hour Rule: No communication with Coaches within 24 hours of games, etc.

23. Zero Tolerance Drug/Alcohol Policy
Drinking, smoking, and Drugs are a choice. Players on this team who make the choice to attend parties that put themselves at risk will potentially lose their roster spot
The school policy requires missed games. The maximum loss of season eligibility will be followed per school policy, plus additional team consequences including more playing time loss, loss of captain title, or removal from the team and loss of letter award.
If this is a policy that may be an issue for you then this team is not for you. Your team counts on you to stay safe, stay eligible, and stay within the team policies. Your attendance at tryouts will be your acceptance of this policy.

25. “The Energy Bus” Get a copy of “The Energy Bus” by Jon Gordon
This is required reading before the season for all players
Available at any book store, online, and in audiobooks

26. Tryouts are open to:
All interested and academically eligible high school LNHS Students.
Returning 8th grade students who held a roster position last season as a 7th grader.
Other 8th grade students will be considered at special request if they and their parents believe they are mature enough to handle a high school tryout. High School players will be given first consideration for roster spots unless the 8th grade athlete falls under the exceptional athlete rule.
NOTE: The high school team is significantly more physical and intense than a youth program. Most middle school students will thrive in a MS based program more than playing up. It is our wish that the LNHS program be comprised of competitive high school athletes and that MS involvement become the exception rather than the rule.
7th grade students will not be invited to tryout unless they fit the exceptional athlete rule and meet a series of physical fitness and skill tests.

27. Tryouts continued: Will Players be cut from the team?
The Energy Vampire exception…
Team Placement – what are we looking for?
- Stick-work (60 wall balls in 60 seconds)
- Conditioning, strength, speed, endurance
- Maturity, attitude, focus, attendance
- Athleticism
- How you treat your teammates
- Academic Eligibility (Student first)
