If your child is unable to attend a practice, please email Coach Heard at jheard@acaedu.net jheard@acaedu.net  Athletes are also expected to follow disciplinary guidelines set for the school. Disciplinary consequences will draw on the professional judgment of the coaches and/ or administrators, depending on the severity of the infraction. If a child is suspended from school, he or she will not be allowed to participate in the following competition.  Athletes will be required to maintain academic standards consistent with ACA philosophies. A child will not be eligible to play under the following criteria:  They failed a non-honors level course at the end of the nine weeks. (Honors courses that are excluded include Algebra 1, Spanish 2, or any elective High School credit course). The student will lose eligibility on the Friday afternoon the day report cards are passed out and can regain eligibility the Friday report cards or progress reports are passed out. In order to regain eligibility, they will be required to pass all classes at the time of progress reports or report cards.  Students who pass all classes at the 9 weeks mark will be required to turn in a grade sheet every two weeks. If the child is failing on their grade sheet, they will not be allowed to participate until the next grade sheet is turned in, (or a progress report or report card) with every grade passing. These grade sheets will be collected and monitored by the coaches.  Nutrition
