Expectations of Mathletes
Student-athletes in the TCGIS athletics program are first and foremost students and then athletes, who must actively participate in class. Student-athletes may not have any more than one “F” in any subject at the start or during the season. Student-athletes are expected to exhibit positive behavior both on the team and in school. Repeated disciplinary action during the school hours, practice or competitions may impact eligibility to participate in practices and/or competitions.
Behavior Expectations
Student-athletes are expected to show good behavior during practices and competitions, including:
exhibiting good sportsmanship
respecting coaches, team captains, officials, fellow athletes and spectators
caring for the spaces that students practice and compete in
being punctual when arriving at practices (3:30 PM*) and competitions
representing TCGIS in a positive light
listening to coaches’ instructions
Failure to follow these expectations may impact eligibility to participate in practices and/or competitions.
Use of cell phones without a coach’s permission during practice or competitions is not allowed, and failure to follow this may also impact eligibility for participation in the team.
What is the value of competing?
The value of competing in are multifold. Math competitions allow students to use their talents and abilities and to demonstrate their commitment to the study of mathematics. Math competitors experience are wider array of mathematical problems than are explored in a typical math classroom. Math competitions allow for the mix of grades and expose younger students to math problems usually reserved for older students. Math team members find camaraderie with like minded students and hone their leadership and teamwork skills. Finally, participation in math competitions promotes recognition for our school and its programs in the greater community.
