Welcome to Cimarron Middle School's Athletics and Activities Program!
We would like to invite every student at Cimarron to take part in the variety of great programs offered to all students throughout the school year. In middle school sports we want all students to get involved so we DO NOT HAVE CUTS. If your student comes out we will find a spot for them to succeed.
At CIMS, we pride ourselves in supporting the middle school philosophy, allowing all students to feel a sense of belonging and success. Our philosophy is that ALL students will be given opportunities to build positive relationships with their peers, improve skills and knowledge, participate, build their self-esteem, and most importantly HAVE FUN WHILE PARTICIPATING!
We are very excited and look forward to working with all of you throughout the school year. Once again, we want to welcome everyone to Cimarron. If you have any questions about athletics, clubs, or activities being offered at Cimarron, please let us know.
10/16/18 Transportation Update: Due to the district's continued shortage of drivers, bus services will not be available for away games. We are asking parents to help carpool athletes to each away event. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY
Scholastic eligibility, as set forth by the Douglas County Middle School Athletic Guidelines, requires that any student who participates in athletics must be eligible prior to participation.
In addition to the rules of scholastic eligibility, each athlete is expected to conduct himself/ herself according to all rules and regulations of the school throughout the school year. No student will be allowed to compete on the day of truancy or while suspended from school. If an event is scheduled for a non-school day, the athlete must be in accordance with these rules on the preceding day.
All athletes must abide by the Athletic Code of Conduct, and the District Code of Conduct. All rules and regulations are considered to be in effect throughout the school year. Most important are the rules on behavior and citizenship, which all students are expected to follow. Any athlete, who in the judgment of the coach or principal are found to be conducting himself/herself in a manner which is not representative of the best interest of Douglas County will be suspended or dropped from the current program.
Eligibility
First Time Ineligible - One failing Work Habits grade (one “U” on grade report) results in the ineligibility of the student for the next week, or one competition, whichever is less (Monday through Saturday). Students may still practice. Coaches and/or parents may adopt a stricter policy but may not be more lenient. The principal or assistant principal shall have the authority to make individual student recommendations for Special Education or At-Risk students.
Consequences for continued “U’s” are handled at the discretion of the school.
Weekly eligibility reports will be generated at the end of the first week of practice.
The principal or assistant principal shall have the authority to declare a student ineligible for participating in athletic activities based on inappropriate behavior.
These are the minimum eligibility requirements. Individual schools may have stricter requirements.
Athletic Code of Conduct
The student participating in the athletic programs of Douglas County Schools:
The student must be in attendance at school at least half of the day on the day of a game or practice, except in the case of a doctor’s appointment or any other excused reason.
Attendance at a minimum of three practices is needed in order to participate in a contest. Must arrive at practice on time and remain at practice until it is over, unless excused by the coach in the case of a special circumstance. Lack of regular attendance will jeopardize opportunities to participate;
Will be on a list of total participants in each activity or sport in which they participate. The Athletic Secretary will make this list available to all coaches at school within three days of the first practice. Any problems with any of the participants will be reported to the Assistant Principal, Athletic Coordinator and/or coach as soon as possible.
7th graders play on 7th grade teams and 8th graders play on 8th grade teams only.
Will be prevented from participating in a sport for the rest of the season, if he/she violates the Alcohol/Drug Use Policy, or any other policy in the District Code of Conduct which would result in a recommendation for expulsion.
Will be prevented from participating in a sport for the rest of the season for intentional equipment abuse and will be responsible to pay for damaged or unreturned equipment before being allowed to participate in any further athletic program in Douglas County Schools;
Will inform the coach that he/she intends to drop or quit any sport.
The preceding code is a minimum Code of Conduct. Any coach may use a more strict set of rules.
