1. All students must maintain an academic standing of at least a “C” average (No F’s). At the end of the fourth week of each marking period, grades will be averaged.  If a student does not meet this qualification at this time, the student must sit out one meet/game/match.  The person’s grade(s) will be averaged on a weekly basis until he/she can reach this requirement.  Until the requirement is met, the student will continue to sit out.

2. All make-up work must be complete according to guidelines under “Absence Procedures”.

3. If a student receives 6 demerits in one day or 11 demerits in one week    (M-F) during the season, the following consequences will apply:

1^st time – warning                       4^th time – miss three games

2^nd time – miss one game            5^th time – dismissed from team

3^rd time – miss two games

The definition of “miss” is to not dress out for the game but to wear the school dress uniform during the game and sit with the team the entire game.  The coach may have the player help with equipment, keep score, etc.
