Intramural Expectations 

Skyhawk Conduct

Students will be expected to follow these expectations, just like in the classroom:

·      Be respectful and display good character to all teammates, coaches, opponents, and schools

·      Athletes actively practice to focus and learn/improve skills; not mess around with teammates

·      Be on time and stay for the duration of practice 

·      Respect all equipment for the school and for personal safety

* Attendance: 

Please notify a coach or the AD by google form in the google classroom designated by sport if your child needs to miss practice. A note, phone, or email will also work. We acknowledge that athletes need to attend other club events and have academic responsibilities, appointments, etc. Unexcused absences may result in loss of playing time. Communication of the absence will excuse any absence. 

* Effort / Attitude / Participation:

Effort, attitude, and participation apply to the court as well as the classroom. At Schoo, we want our student-athletes to take classroom work seriously, too. We will have weekly grade checks.  There will be one designated day each week where any student athlete who has failing or incomplete grades will attend homework club. Students will be notified via email when they need to attend. This will be tracked by attendance so if for ANY reason you are unable to attend you must bring a note to be excused. If a student has more than 2 F’s in classes AND does not attend homework club, the student will not participate in the game/meet that Saturday. If they attend the club and the grades are still failing they will be able to play but will still need to work on the grade(s) up. **In high school you are not allowed to play with 2 or more failing grades AND must attend all HW club days. 

*Practice Policy: 

Per LPS policy, parents are not allowed at practices. We ask that you please wait outside for your athlete to finish practice. If you’d like to set up a time to speak with a coach, please email Mrs. Gerlach or your athletes specific coach. Also, please avoid approaching a coach after a game unless to share positive information. Everyone wants our athletes and teams to perform at their best. Teacher emails are listed on the Schoo Website and the intramural site. Thank you for your understanding.

*Discipline:

Coaches and staff will be following the Schoo Middle School-wide expectations of "Be Safe - Be Respectful - Be Responsible". We use a three strikes, or incidents, policy with our athletics. The following communication will take place with athletes for incidents and discipline concerns: 

Strike 1) Coach or AD will privately meet with the athlete and parents will be notified. 

Strike 2) The Athletic Director will meet with the student and coach. Student and coach/AD will inform parents/guardian that any more incidents and they will be asked to leave the team. 

Strike 3) Student will be asked to leave the team. The Athletic Director will notify the parent/guardian. Serious infractions involving fighting, vandalism, and harassment will not be tolerated and may result in immediate dismissal from the team.  

If you have questions, please email Katie Hitz or Katelyn Prophit, or leave a message at the school at 402-436-1222.  

Bus Policy

There is a bus available after practice for students who live in the Air Park/Ashley Heights neighborhoods. Conduct on the bus is an extension of conduct at practice. Any behavior reported to us by the drivers will also count as a strike toward our behavior policy and possibly dismissal from using the bus.

The below form will be signed by every athlete on the first day of practice.
