the team. Repeat offenders are subject to dismissal from the
team.
Players are to be neat and well groomed. Hair must also be neat
and well groomed so as not to cause a problem wearing a helmet.
The coach will have the final decision as to whether or not the
length and style causes a problem. No dying of hair.

school. No jewelry (necklace, rings, bracelets) during practice.
Players who must miss due to illness or emergency MUST notify

Exceptions could be made with pre-arranged approval in
extraordinary situations from the head coach and student’s

Conduct in class as well as at other school activities will be monitored
and players are expected to be leaders in this area as well. Conduct
problems will be addressed and dealt with by the coaches in the form
of counseling, extra work and/or punishment or dismissal.
Players are responsible for all equipment issued to them. They are
also to respect other people’s equipment and property. Stealing
(borrowing without permission) will not be tolerated and could result
in dismissal from the team.
Disrespect for coaches, officials or school personnel will not be
allowed. This includes actions, language or attitude. Communication
between the coach and players as well as parents is essential if a
problem exists.
The coach will make the final decision on whether a young man will
be allowed to maintain his status as a member of the football team.
The decision is based upon consideration of all of the listed policies.
Students are to leave for and return from contests with the team. No
exceptions are to be made. They are required to ride the bus to the
contest and then ride the bus back to the school. No parents are
