Lux Intramural Athletics

Expectations for Participants

1. All LPS/Lux school rules apply.

Be safe. Be respectful. Be responsible.

2. Show up. Communicate absences to the Athletic Director and/or coach.

If you have unexcused absences from practice, it could result in reduced or eliminated playing time during games. An unexcused absence is one in which coaches and/or athletic director are not informed by note, email, or phone call from a parent/guardian. If they contact the office due to illness you are excused.

3. Be Prepared.

Come prepared with appropriate clothes, shoes, etc. If you do not have required items, it will be considered an unexcused absence. Be responsible and do not make excuses.

4. Work hard.

Give your best as a student athlete. This includes daily at practice and with your school work. Being a student is more important than being an athlete. If a teacher asks or requires you to stay after school, that is the priority. This will be considered an excused absence if the teacher writes a pass to practice or emails the coach and/or athletic director. The choices you make in the classroom can affect your practice and competition privileges.

5. Be Respectful.

Listen and learn from your coaches; follow their directions. As a student athlete you are participating to improve. To improve you must put in the work. Hard work beats talent when talent does not put in the work. If behavior becomes disruptive to practice, contact will be made with parent/guardian. Choices made at practice can affect your playing time.

6. Have Fun.

Help teammates to learn and improve and take the help from teammates to learn and improve. Be a team player, encourage each other and support each other.

7. Follow Practice and Game/Meet Schedules.

Ensure that you have communicated with your parent/guardian about practice times, pick up times from practice, events and pick up times from events. Communicate with your coach and/or athletic director if you are not able to participate in any way.

Intramural Policies

1. Grade Policy

Grade checks will be conducted on a weekly basis. Students with 2 or more Fs should be in touch with teachers and working to improve their grades. Student grades may result in reduced playing time.

2. Attendance Policy

Students should arrive to practice on time, including being dressed and ready to begin practice. If arriving late, students should have a pass from a teacher or administrator. Punctuality is an expectation and leads to being able to start practice on time. Communicate with your coach and/or athletic director when you will be absent from practice. Multiple missed practices with no communication will result in communication with parent/guardian and possible removal from team.

3. Locker Room Policy

Students will be able to change in the locker room for practice. The room will be locked at 3:15. If there are any problems in the locker room (food, vandalism, bullying, etc.) the locker rooms will not be available.

4. Backpack Policy

Backpacks and instruments will be kept in the gym on the stairs next to the court that you will be practicing on. Anyone caught tampering with or removing property from another student's possessions will be given a warning. Further violations will result in removal from the team.

5. Practice Policy

While in gym you should be ready to follow all directions given by the coaches. To do this effectively you will need to not talk and hold the balls/equipment when the coach is talking. You should be an active participant in all drills/activities; you should be ready when your turn comes around. Stay focused on the tasks so information does not need repeated. Repeated reminders may result in reduced playing time.

6. Behavior Policy

All LPS and Lux rules apply while at practices and events. You are representing Lux at all times. You should treat all with respect. This includes, but is not limited to, unwanted touching of any kind, disrespectful speech, hand gestures, touching or messing with others' belongings, or any other disrespectful actions towards teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, etc. You will be given one warning. After one warning, you will speak with the athletic director. Any further conflicts may impact your practice and/or playing time.
