4. All practices are mandatory. Dentist appointments, etc. should NOT be scheduled during this time.
Even injured players must attend practice- there is a lot to learn!

5. Attendance will be considered concerning playing time and for grading. If you are going to be absent, you must notify your coach in advance. If you are sick, you must call and let them know that you will not be there. The makeup work for an absence is three towels. If the coach is not notified in advance, the makeup work is six towels.

6. Playing time is determined by the coaching staff only.

7. If a child has a concern about her playing time, then she must schedule a time to meet with the coach.

8. Please do not question the playing time of another player. It is inappropriate. Coaches will not answer questions about other players.

9. If a parent has a concern that cannot be addressed by the athlete, please follow the line of communication established by the administration. It is as follows:

13. UIL mandates that all athletes are enrolled in 5 credit bearing classes.

14. UIL mandates that athletes live with their parent or legal guardian in the attendance zone.

15. UIL mandates that players receive no monetary gifts or items of any value from coaches, school personnel, or anyone in the community (including parents).
